TO OUR SHAREHOLDERSPS Business Parks, Inc.
FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
PS Business Parks’ StrategyPS Business Parks’ strategy is to own and operate multi-tenant flex, office and industrialbuildings that can be configured to support users of space in economically vibrant markets. Ourgoal is to invest in well located, quality assets and operate them in ways that consistently producemarket-leading results. We differentiate ourselves by providing exceptional value to ourcustomers within well located and professionally managed properties. We have highly trainedand experienced teams of PSB professionals entrenched in each of our markets, standing readyto be nimble and efficient to serve their customers’ needs. Central to PSB’s strategy is a capitalstructure that is conservative and strong, facilitating an ability to retain significant levels of cashto reinvest in both existing and new properties. These core elements of PS Business Parks’strategy combine to produce exceptional results, allowing us to achieve our ultimate goal:enhancing long-term shareholder value.
Markets Demonstrated GrowthEconomic health across PSB’s markets was evident as 2006 began, and momentum grew as theyear progressed. The traditionally stronger markets of Southern California, South Florida andWashington D.C. remained vibrant. Demand also improved in Texas, Northern California andPortland, areas that had been hardest hit in prior years. The end result was positive market netabsorption in nearly all of the areas in which we operate for the second consecutive year. Inaddition, there was limited speculative development of our product type, especially marketswhere land inventory is scarce. This has been the case for several years.
PSB’s portfolio took impressive steps forward as well, as full year company occupancy grew from92.2% in 2005 to 93.4% in 2006. By year end, occupancy levels had reached 94%, our highestlevel since 2002. Leasing volume was strong, and our teams executed approximately 4.7 millionsquare feet in 1,285 separate transactions. As we tackled this leasing volume, we took additionalsteps to drive down the average size of the transactions completed. In fact, this year the averagetransaction size dropped to 3,700 square feet from 4,325 square feet in 2005. Even as marketconditions improve, there are simply more users seeking space in smaller increments, and we likethe fact that our portfolio is well suited to capture this vibrant component of the market, whetherit is flex, office or industrial space. Growth in customer demand and occupancy also facilitatedpositive net operating income (NOI), which increased 2.9% on a Same Park basis.
Reducing Transaction CostsAn important element of our operating strategy is to minimize the level of ongoing capitalrequired to achieve our leasing volume and net operating income. By doing so, we are able to
retain higher levels of cash, which we can use for other alternatives, such as acquiring assets orinvesting in our stock. The good news is that PSB’s transaction costs trended down again in2006, driven by two primary factors. First, market conditions shifted from once onerous levelswhen landlords competed aggressively to fill vacant space. Second, and more importantly, thesimple and generic nature of small space, whether flex, industrial or office, enables us to containhigher fees as we lease our properties. In total, transaction costs totaled $1.30 per square foot,compared to $1.56 per square foot last year and substantially below the high water mark of$1.90 per square foot in 2004, when market conditions heavily favored the tenant. As a result,retained cash improved by 43%, totaling $44 million, allowing for more capital to be investedin other areas of our business.
Investment ActivityThe investment market was extremely competitive, as capital flows into commercial real estateremained strong. Investors aggressively pursued our product type, pushing values to levels wehave not seen in recent memory. Even with this competitive pressure, we were fortunate to findseveral unique opportunities to grow the portfolio, both in existing and new submarkets. Intotal, $180 million was invested by acquiring approximately 1.2 million square feet of assets thatare strategically aligned with our long-term investment goals. The properties have average inplace customer sizes of 5,600 square feet, with additional building flexibility to reduce tenantsuites if desirable over time. Approximately 265,000 square feet of the properties acquired are inestablished PSB markets of Los Angeles, San Jose and Chantilly, Northern Virginia. Here, wewere able to acquire flex assets in close proximity to other PSB facilities, deepening our marketpresence. We also expanded into new submarkets in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Palm BeachCounty. In Silver Spring, we acquired a combination of multi-tenant office and flex buildingstotaling 530,000 square feet, in a market that complements our existing holdings throughoutMetropolitan Washington D.C., where we now own approximately 4.7 million square feet. InPalm Beach County, we also acquired two flex parks totaling 400,000 square feet. This is ourfirst investment in South Florida outside of Miami, and we are encouraged by the economicdrivers in Palm Beach County and look forward to continuing our growth in this area. In SouthFlorida, PSB owns approximately 3.6 million square feet of industrial and flex space. Some ofthe acquired assets require minor physical refurbishment, but most importantly, will showimproved levels of success by inserting PSB’s management and leasing personnel. We areconfident that our teams will quickly begin to extract the same exceptional growth in these newassets that we are delivering in our established portfolio.
Financial StrengthPS Business Parks’ capital structure remains healthy and strong, and as we grew in 2006, wemaintained an enviable balance sheet with nominal levels of traditional debt. Our fixed chargeratio exceeded three times by year end, and our FFO and FAD payout ratios were 31.6% and42.8%, respectively. Solid financial metrics such as these fuel continued growth in the Company,but if internally generated levels of retained cash and proceeds from dispositions are insufficient
to fund additional growth, we are able to efficiently issue additional levels of equity or debt. Thisyear, we generated approximately $95 million of cash through issuance of perpetual preferredequity. Our reliance on perpetual preferred equity has served the Company well, as we have seenhigh levels of investor interest in PSB’s preferred equity, having issued approximately $791million of this security in ten separate transactions over the last three years. With the positivetrend in interest rates, the in place yield on our perpetual preferred equity decreased from 8.9%three years ago to 7.2% today. This has had a positive and long lasting impact on our permanentcost of capital and our ability to increase retained cash.
As PSB has grown in size and stature, we have also seen validation of the sustainability of oureconomic strength, and in 2006 that came in two forms. In May, the Company’s preferredequity was upgraded by Moody’s to investment grade, further improving the Company’s abilityto access attractively priced capital. This year we were also added to Standard & Poor’sSmallCap 600 Index.
SummaryOn several fronts, 2006 was an exceptional year at PS Business Parks. Externally, the marketsin which we choose to invest in flex, office and industrial properties improved, facilitatingour ability to improve operational performance. As importantly, the strategy of focusing onsmall users in multi-tenant environments also affords us the ability to out-perform markets,as PSB’s exceptionally talented teams extract value from their unique and proven ability tostay nimble and close to our customers. The Company’s financial structure remainsincredibly strong, giving us the opportunity to grow the enterprise to extract long-term valuefrom existing and acquired properties. In 2006, PSB delivered to our shareholders a totalreturn of 46%, a one year record for the Company. And, in the nine years as a public entity,we have also provided our shareholders significant long-term value, as PS Business Parks hasdelivered a total return of 337%.
As we embark on our goals for 2007, we are encouraged by a number of factors. The economyis quite healthy and our customer base is showing continued vibrancy and growth. Our teamsare mobilized and energized to find opportunities to provide excellent shareholder returns, as wenavigate through improving market fundamentals. We are committed to our strategy ofinvesting in what we feel is the most dynamic and dependable component of commercial realestate: small user flex, office and industrial assets.
Thank you for your continued confidence in our abilities.
Joseph D. Russell, Jr.President and Chief Executive Officer March 22, 2007
FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
With favorable market conditions and a solid balance sheet, we were able to createmeaningful value for our owners. This was a year in which commercial real estatefundamentals improved measurably in each of our markets. Continued strength in theeconomy facilitated improved operating metrics in 2006 and paved the way for continuedsuccess and growth in 2007.
Reflecting improving conditions in the commercial real estate environment in 2006, fundsfrom operations, which is a key industry metric measuring the operating performance of theCompany, excluding non-cash items such as depreciation, increased from $3.50 in 2005 to$3.83 in 2006. Improved market conditions also enabled the Company to substantiallyimprove its cash flow. Funds available for distribution, the cash available to distribute to ourshareholders after necessary capital expenditures, were $2.68 per share in 2006, compared to$2.21 in 2005. Net income in 2006 was $0.77 per diluted share while 2005 net income perdiluted share was $1.47. The decrease was primarily a factor of gains on asset sales in 2005as well as non-cash distributions that the Company realized in 2006 as it redeemed high ratepreferred equity. A schedule reconciling funds from operations and funds available fordistribution to net income is included in this report.
As I have repeatedly stated, measuring our results on a per share basis provides the mostmeaningful view for our shareholders, as changes in business size mean little unless translatedinto value for our owners.
Operating ReviewThis was a year of transition, with each quarter bringing improving market conditionsand corresponding improvements in our results. We have teams of seasoned real estateprofessionals positioned across the country in each of our markets with the knowledgeand drive to seize every opportunity in their markets to bring added value to theCompany.
Commercial real estate fundamentals remained robust during 2006 making it challenging tofind opportunities to invest capital on assets we believe enhance the underlying value of theCompany. During 2006, the Company acquired 1.2 million square feet of multi-tenant realestate. With an aggregate purchase price exceeding $180 million, these assets complementour existing product in key markets such as Washington D.C., Southern California andSouth Florida.
T o t a l S h a r e h o l d e r R e t u r n s
The following chart compares the operating results of our Same Park assets and highlightsthe fact that 2006 was the second year in a row we were able to report positive Same Parkgrowth as a result of improving market conditions.
2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Rental income growth 3.7% 3.1% (2.0%) (0.2%) 1.4%
Cost of operations growth 5.7% 3.3% 1.9% 1.8% 3.9%
Net operating income growth 2.9% 3.0% (3.2%) (0.9%) 0.5%
Annual weighted average occupancy 93.4% 92.2% 90.5% 92.7% 94.3%
Going into 2007, we anticipate that market conditions should continue to improve, resultingin a greater ability to increase rents, further reduce transaction costs and limit exposure toless viable tenants. With the winds shifting to our back, we expect to be able to negotiatelease transactions that will continue to improve our operating metrics and increase the valueof the enterprise.
In 2006, the stock outperformed both the NAREIT Equity Index and S&P 500.
Cumulative Returnas a Public Company Five Years Three Years One Year
PSB 337.1% 157.9% 84.2% 46.5%
NAREIT Equity Index 221.7% 183.8% 99.3% 35.1%
S&P 500 Index 65.1% 35.0% 34.7% 15.8%
S a m e P a r k R a t e s o f G r o w t h
Over the past nine years as a publicly traded entity, we have been a sound investment for ourowners providing a cumulative total return, which includes appreciation in stock pricecombined with dividends paid, of 337.1%. This is particularly impressive when comparedto the NAREIT Equity Index delivering a cumulative total return of 221.7% and the S&P500 Index delivering 65.1% over the same period.
Our goal has been and will continue to be to create shareholder value for the long term. Aslong as we relentlessly pursue this goal, we will have a good opportunity to provide solid totalreturns to you our owners.

Computation of Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”)(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)
(1) Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is computed in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board y of Governorsof the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income, computedin accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), before depreciation, amortization, minority interest inincome, gains or losses on asset dispositions and extraordinary items. FFO should be analyzed in conjunction with net income.However, FFO should not be viewed as a substitute for net income as a measure of operating performance or liquidity as it does notreflect depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditure and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operatingperformance of the Company's properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact the Company's resultsfrom operations. Other REITs may use different methods for calculating FFO and, accordingly, the Company's FFO may not becomparable to other real estate companies.
(2) Funds available for distribution (“FAD”) is computed by deducting from consolidated FFO recurring capital expenditures, which theCompany defines as those costs incurred to maintain the assets' value, tenant improvements, capitalized leasing commissions andstraight-line rent from FFO and adding impairment charges and stock based compensation expense, amortization of leaseincentives, in-place rents adjustment and the impact of EITF Topic D-42. Like FFO, the Company considers FAD to be a usefulmeasure for investors to evaluate the operations and cash flows of a REIT. FAD does not represent net income or cash flow fromoperations as defined by GAAP.

PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Company
PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”) is a fully-integrated, self-advised and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that acquires, develops, owns and operates commercial properties, primarily multi-tenant flex, office and industrial space. As of December 31, 2006, PSB owned approximately 75% of the common partnership units of PSBusiness Parks, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or “OP”). The remaining common partnership units were owned by Public Storage, Inc. (“PSI” or “Public Storage”). PSB, as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership,has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in managing and controlling the Operating Partnership.Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “the Company,” “we,” “us,”tt“our,” and similar references mean PS Business Parks, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned and operated approximately 18.7 million rentable square feet of commercial space located in eight states: Arizona, California, Florida, Maryland, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. The Company also manages approximately 1.4 million rentable square feet on behalf of PSI and its affiliated entities.
History of the Company: The Company was formed in 1990 as a California corporation under the name Public Storage Properties XI, Inc. In a March 17, 1998 merger with American Office Park Properties, Inc. (“AOPP”) (the“Merger”), the Company acquired the commercial property business previously operated by AOPP and wasrenamed “PS Business Parks, Inc.” Prior to the merger in January, 1997, AOPP was reorganized to succeed to the commercial property business of PSI, becoming a fully integrated, self advised and self managed REIT.
From 1998 through 2001, the Company added 9.7 million square feet in Virginia, Maryland, Texas, Oregon,California and Arizona, acquiring 9.2 million square feet of commercial space from unaffiliated third parties and developing an additional 500,000 square feet.
In 2002, the economy and real estate fundamentals softened. This resulted in an environment in which the Company was unable to identify acquisitions at prices that met its investment criteria. The Company disposed of four properties totaling 386,000 square feet that no longer met its investment criteria.
In 2003, the Company acquired 4.1 million square feet of commercial space from unaffiliated third parties, including a 3.4 million square foot property located in Miami, Florida, which represented a new market for the Company. The Miami property represented approximately 18% of the Company’s aggregate rentable square footage at December 31, 2003. The cost of these acquisitions was $282.4 million. The Company also disposed of four properties totaling 226,000 square feet as well as a one acre plot of land that no longer met its investment criteria. t
In 2004, the Company made only one acquisition, a 165,000 square foot asset in Fairfax, Virginia, for $24.1 million. During 2004, the Company sold two significant assets, comprising 400,000 square feet in Maryland resulting in a gain of $15.2 million. Additionally in 2004, the Company sold an aggregate of 91,000 square feet inTexas, Oregon and Miami.
In 2005, the Company acquired one asset, a 233,000 square foot multi-tenant flex space in San Diego, California. The asset, which was 94.6% leased at the time of acquisition, was purchased for $35.1 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed a $15.0 million mortgage which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.73%. During 2005, the Company sold Woodside Corporate Park, a 574,000 square foot flex and office park in Beaverton, Oregon, for $64.5 million resulting in a gain of $12.5 million. The park was 76.8% leased at the time of the sale. Additionally in 2005, the Company sold 100,000 square feet and some parcels of land in Miami and Oregon.
In 2006, the Company acquired 1.2 million square feet for an aggregate cost of $180.3 million. The Company acquired WesTech Business Park, a 366,000 square foot office and flex park in Silver Spring, Maryland, for $69.3 million; a 88,800 square foot multi-tenant flex park in Signal Hill, California, for $10.7 million; a 107,300 square
3
foot multi-tenant flex park in Chantilly, Virginia, for $15.8 million, Meadows Corporate Park; a 165,000 square foot multi-tenant office park in Silver Spring, Maryland, for $29.9 million; Rogers Avenue, a 66,500 square foot multi-tenant industrial and flex park in San Jose, California, for $8.4 million; and Boca Commerce Park and Wellington Commerce Park, two multi-tenant industrial, flex and storage parks, aggregating 398,000 square feet, located in Palm Beach County, Florida, for $46.2 million. In connection with the Meadows Corporate Park purchase, theCompany assumed a $16.8 million mortgage with a fixed interest rate of 7.20% through November, 2011, at whichtime it can be prepaid without penalty. In addition, in connection with the Palm Beach County purchases, the Company assumed three mortgages with a combined total of $23.8 million with a weighted average fixed interest frate of 5.84%. During 2006, the Company sold a 30,500 square foot building located in Beaverton, Oregon, for $4.4million resulting in a gain of $1.5 million. Additionally in 2006, the Company sold 32,400 square feet in Miami for a combined total of $3.7 million, resulting in a gain of $865,000.
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1990. To the extent that the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on the net income that is currently distributed to its shareholders.
The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 701 Western Avenue, Glendale, California 91201-2397. The Company’s telephone number is (818) 244-8080.

Business of the Company: The Company is in the commercial property business, with properties consisting of multi-tenant flex, industrial, and office space. The Company owns approximately 11.5 million square feet of flex space. The Company defines “flex” space as buildings that are configured with a cot mbination of warehouse and office space and can be designed to fit a wide variety of uses. The warehouse component of the flex space has a fnumber of uses including light manufacturing and assembly, storage and warehousing, showroom, laboratory,distribution and research and development activities. The office component of flex space is complementary to theffwarehouse component by enabling businesses to accommodate management and production staff in the same facility. The Company owns approximately 3.9 million square feet of industrial space that have characteristicssimilar to the warehouse component of the flex space. In addition, the Company owns approximately 3.3 millionsquare feet of low-rise office space, generally either in business parks that combine office and flex space or in tsubmarkets where the economics of the market demand an office build-out.
The Company’s commercial properties typically consist of low-rise buildings, ranging from one to over fiftybuildings per property, located on up to 216 acres and comprising from approximately 12,000 to 3.2 million aggregate square feet of rentable space. Facilities are managed through either on-site management or area offices central to the facilities. Parking is generally open but in some instances is covered. The ratio of parking spaces torentable square feet ranges from two to six per thousand square feet depending upon the use of the property and itslocation. Office space generally requires a greater parking ratio than most industrial uses. The Company mayacquire properties that do not have these characteristics.
The tenant base for the Company’s facilities is diverse. The portfolio can be bifurcated into those facilities thatservice small to medium-sized businesses and those that service larger businesses. Approximately 39.7% of in-placerents from the portfolio are from facilities that serve small to medium-sized businesses. A property in this facilitytype is typically divided into units ranging in size from 500 to 4,999 square feet and leases generally range from oneto three years. The remaining 60.3% of the in-place rents are derived from facilities that serve larger businesses, mwith units greater than or equal to 5,000 square feet. The Company also has several tenants that lease space in multiple buildings and locations. The U.S. Government is the largest tenant with leases encompassing 469,000 square feet, in 12 separate locations, or approximately 5.1% of the Company’s annual revenue.
The Company intends to continue acquiring commercial properties located in its target markets within the United States. The Company’s policy of acquiring commercial properties may be changed by its Board of Directors without
4
shareholder approval. However, the Board of Directors has no intention of changing this policy at this time. Although the Company currently owns properties in eight states, it may expand its operations to other states or reduce the number of states in which it operates. Properties are acquired for both income and potential capital appreciation; there is no limitation on the amount that can be invested in any specific property. Although there are no restrictions on our ability to expand our operations into foreign markets, we currently operate solely within the United States and have no foreign operations.
The Company has acquired land for the development of commercial properties. The Company owned approximately 6.4 acres of land in Northern Virginia, 14.9 acres in Portland, Oregon, 1.0 acre in Rockville, Maryland and 10.0 acres in Dallas, Texas as of December 31, 2006.
Operating Partnership
The properties in which the Company has an equity interest will generally be owned by the Operating Partnership. The Company has the ability to acquire interests in additional properties in transactions that could defer the contributors’ tax consequences by causing the Operating Partnership to issue equity interests in return for interests in properties.
As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive responsibility under theOperating Partnership Agreement to manage and conduct the business of the Operating Partnership. The Board of Directors directs the affairs of the Operating Partnership by managing the Company’s affairs. The Operating Partnership will be responsible for, and pay when due, its share of all administrative and operating expenses of theproperties it owns.
The Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles it to share in cash distributions from, and the profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company’s economic interest in the OperatingPartnership (apart from tax allocations of profits and losses to take into account pre-contribution property appreciation or depreciation).
Summary of the Operating Partnership Agreement
The following summary of the Operating Partnership Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Operating Partnership Agreement as amended, which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this report.
Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests: As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company is authorized to cause the Operating Partnership from time to time to issue to partners of the Operating Partnershipor to other persons additional partnership units in one or more classes, and in one or more series of any of suchclasses, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights, powers andaaduties (which may be senior to the existing partnership units), as will be determined by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, without the approval of any limited partners, except to the extent specifically provided in the agreement. No such additional partnership units, however, will be issued to the Company unless (i) the agreement to issue the additional partnership interests arises in connection with the issuance of shares of the Company, which shares have designations, preferences and other rights, such that the economic interests are substantially similar tothe designations, preferences and other rights of the additional partnership units that would be issued to the Company and (ii) the Company agrees to make a capital contribution to the Operating Partnership in an amount equal to the proceeds raised in connection with the issuance of such shares of the Company.
Capital Contributions: No partner is required to make additional capital contributions to the OperatingPartnership, except that the Company as the general partner is required to contribute the proceeds of the sale of equity interests in the Company to the Operating Partnership in return for additional partnership units. A limitedpartner may be required to pay to the Operating Partnership any taxes paid by the Operating Partnership on behalf of that limited partner. No partner is required to pay to the Operating Partnership any deficit or negative balance which may exist in its capital account.
Distributions: The Company, as general partner, is required to distribute at least quarterly the “available cash”(as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement) generated by the Operating Partnership for such quarter.
5
Distributions are to be made (i) first, with respect to any class of partnership interests having a preference over other classes of partnership interests; and (ii) second, in accordance with the partners’ respective percentage interests on the “partnership record date” (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement). Commencing in 1998, theOperating Partnership’s policy has been to make distributions per unit (other than preferred units) that are equal tothe per share distributions made by the Company with respect to its common stock.
Preferred Units: As of December 31, 2006, the Operating Partnership had an aggregate of 3.3 million preferred units owned by third parties with distribution rates ranging from 7.125% to 7.950% (per annum) with an aggregate stated value of $82.8 million. The Operating Partnership has the right to redeem each series of preferred units on or mafter the fifth anniversary of the issuance date of the series at the original capital contribution plus the cumulative priority return, as defined, to the redemption date to the extent not previously distributed. Each series of preferred units is exchangeable for Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the respective series of PS Business Parks, Inc.on or after the tenth anniversary of the date of issuance at the option of the Operating Partnership or a majority of the holders of the applicable series of preferred units.
As of December 31, 2006, in connection with the Company’s issuance of publicly traded Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Company owned 24.9 million preferred units of various series with a stated value of $622.5 million with terms substantially identical to the terms of the publicly traded depositary shares each representing 1/1,000 of ashare of 6.875% to 8.750% Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company. On December 15, 2006, the Company called 2.0 million depositary shares ($50.0 million) of its 8.750% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series F for January 29, 2007 redemption. The holders of all series of Preferred Stock may combine to elect two additional directors if the Company fails to make dividend payments for six quarterly dividend payment periods, whether or not consecutive.
Redemption of Partnership Interests: Subject to certain limitations described below, each limited partner (other than the Company and holders of preferred units) has the right to require the redemption of such limited partner’sunits. This right may be exercised on at least 10 days notice at any time or from time to time, beginning on the date that is one year after the date on which such limited partner is admitted to the Operating Partnership (unless otherwise contractually agreed by the general partner).
Unless the Company, as general partner, elects to assume and perform the Operating Partnership’s obligation with respect to a redemption right, as described below, a limited partner that exercises its redemption right will receive cash from the Operating Partnership in an amount equal to the “redemption amount” (as defined in the tOperating Partnership Agreement generally to reflect the average trading price of the common stock of the Company over a specified 10 day trading period) for the units redeemed. In lieu of the Operating Partnershipredeeming the units for cash, the Company, as the general partner, has the right to elect to acquire the units directly ttfrom a limited partner exercising its redemption right, in exchange for cash in the amount specified above as the“redemption amount” or by issuance of the “shares amount” (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement, generally to mean the issuance of one share of the Company common stock for each unit of limited partnershipinterest redeemed).
A limited partner cannot exercise its redemption right if delivery of shares of common stock would be prohibited under the articles of incorporation of the Company or if in the opinion of counsel to the general partner there is a significant risk that delivery of shares of common stock would cause the general partner to no longer qualify as a REIT, would cause a violation of the applicable securities or certain antitrust laws, or would result in the Operating Partnership no longer being treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
Limited Partner Transfer Restrictions: Limited partners generally may not transfer partnership interests (other than to their estates, immediate family or certain affiliates) without the prior writteff n consent of the Company asgeneral partner, which consent may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. The Company, asgeneral partner, has a right of first refusal to purchase partnership interests proposed to be sold by the limitedpartners. Transfers must comply with applicable securities laws and regulations. Transfers of partnership interests generally are not permitted if the transfer would be made through certain trading markets or adversely affect theCompany’s ability to qualify as a REIT or could subject the Company to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code.
6
Management: The Operating Partnership is organized as a California limited partnership. The Company, as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion inmanaging and controlling the Operating Partnership, except as provided in the Operating Partnership Agreement and by applicable law. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership have no authority to transact business for, or participate in the management activities or decisions of, the Operating Partnership except as provided in the ffOperating Partnership Agreement and as permitted by applicable law. The Operating Partnership Agreement aaprovides that the general partner may not be removed by the limited partners. In exercising its authority under the agreement, the general partner may take into account (but is not required to do so) the tax consequences to anypartner of actions or inaction and is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the limited partners.
However, the consent of the limited partners holding a majority of the interests of the limited partners (includinglimited partnership interests held by the Company) generally will be required to amend the Operating Partnership Agreement. Further, the Operating Partnership Agreement cannot be amended without the consent of each partner adversely affected if, among other things, the amendment would alter the partner’s rights to distributions from theOperating Partnership (except as specifically permitted in the Operating Partnership Agreement), alter the redemption right, or impose on the limited partners an obligation to make additional capital contributions.
The consent of all limited partners will be required to (i) take any action that would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the Operating Partnership, except as otherwise provided in the Operating Partnership Agreement; or (ii) possess Operating Partnership property, or assign any rights in specific Operating Partnershipproperty, for other than an Operating Partnership purpose, except as otherwise provided in the Operating PartnershipAgreement. In addition, without the consent of any adversely affected limited partner, the general partner may not perform any act that would subject a limited partner to liability as a general partner in any jurisdiction or any other liability except as provided in the Operating Partnership Agreement or under California law.
Extraordinary Transactions: The Operating Partnership Agreement provides that the Company may not engagein any business combination, defined to mean any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another person or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, any reclassification, any recapitalization (other than certainstock splits or stock dividends) or change of outstanding shares of common stock, unless (i) the limited partners of the Operating Partnership will receive, or have the opportunity tor receive, the same proportionate consideration per unit in the transaction as shareholders of the Company (without regard to tax considerations); or (ii) limited partnersof the Operating Partnership (other than the general partner) holding at least 60% of the interests in the OperatingPartnership held by limited partners (other than the general partner) vote to approve the business combination. In addition, the Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, has agreed in the Operating PartnershipAgreement with the limited partners of the Operating Partnership that it will not consummate a business combination in which the Company conducted a vote of shareholders unless the matter is also submitted to a vote of the partners.
The foregoing provision of the Operating Partnership Agreement would under no circumstances enable or require the Company to engage in a business combination which required the approval of shareholders if the shareholders of the Company did not in fact give the requisite approval. Rather, if the shareholders did approve a business combination, the Company would not consummate the transaction unless the Company as general partner first conducts a vote of partners of the Operating Partnership on the matter. For purposes of the Operating Partnership vote, the Company shall be deemed to vote its partnership interest in the same proportion as theshareholders of the Company voted on the matter (disregarding shareholders who do not vote). The Operating Partnership vote will be deemed approved if the votes recorded are such that if the Operating Partnership vote had been a vote of shareholders, the business combination would have been approved by the shareholders. As a result of these provisions of the Operating Partnership, a third party may be inhibited from making an acquisition proposalfor the Company that it would otherwise make, or the Company, despite having the requisite authority under itsarticles of incorporation, may not be authorized to engage in a proposed business combination.
Indemnification: The Operating Partnership Agreement generally provides that the Company and its officers and directors and the limited partners of the Operating Partnership will be indemnified and held harmless by theOperating Partnership for matters that relate to the operations of the Operating Partnership unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of the indemnified person was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the indemnified person
7
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminalproceeding, the indemnified person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the indemnified person did not meet the requisite standards of conduct set forth above. The termination of any proceeding by tconviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment,creates a rebuttable presumption that the indemnified person did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth above. Any indemnification so made shall be made only out of the assets of the Operating Partnership or through tinsurance obtained by the Operating Partnership. The general partner shall not be liable for monetary damages to the partnership, any partners or any assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a resultof errors in judgment or of any act or omissions if the general partner acted in good faith.
Duties and Conflicts: The Operating Agreement allows the Company to operate the Operating Partnership in a manner that will enable the Company to satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT. The Company intends to conduct all of its business activities, including all activities pertaining to the acquisition, management and operation of properties, through the Operating Partnership. However, the Company may own, directly or through subsidiaries, interests in Operating Partnership properties that do not exceed 1% of the economic interest of any property, and if appropriate for regulatory, tax or other purposes, the Company also may own, directly or through subsidiaries, interests in assets that the Operating Partnership otherwise could acquire, if the Company grants to theOperating Partnership the option to acquire the assets within a period not to exceed three years in exchange for the number of partnership units that would be issued if the Operating Partnership had acquired the assets at the time of acquisition by the Company.
Term: The Operating Partnership will continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2096 or until sooner rdissolved upon the withdrawal of the general partner (unless the limited partners elect to continue the OperatingPartnership), or by the election of the general partner (with the consent of the holders of a majority of the partnerships interests if such vote is held before January 1, 2056), in connection with a merger or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Operating Partnership, or by judicial decree.f
Other Provisions: The Operating Partnership Agreement contains other provisions affecting its operations and management, limited partner access to certain business records, responsibility for expenses and reimbursements, tax allocations, distribution of certain reports, winding-up and liquidation, the granting by the limited partners of powersof attorney to the general partner, the rights of holders of particular series of preferred units, and other matters.
Cost Allocation and Administrative Services
Pursuant to a cost sharing and administrative services agreement, the Company shares costs with PSI and affiliated entities for certain administrative services. These services include employee relations, administration, management information systems, legal, corporate tax and office services. Under this agreement, costs are allocated to the Company in accordance with its proportionate share of these costs. These allocated costs totaled $320,000,$335,000 and $327,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Common Officers and Directors with PSI
Ronald L. Havner, Jr., Chairman of the Company, is the Chief Executive Officer and President of PSI. Harvey Lenkin, retired president of PSI, is a Director of both the Company and PSI. The Company engages additional executive personnel who render services exclusively for the Company. However, it is expected that certain officersof PSI will continue to render services for the Company as requested.
Property Management
The Company continues to manage commercial properties owned by PSI and its affiliates, which are generallyadjacent to mini-warehouses, for a fee of 5% of the gross revenues of such properties in addition to reimbursement of direct costs. The property management contract with PSI is for a seven-year term with the agreement automatically extending for successive one-year terms (unless cancelled by either party). PSI can cancel the property management contract upon 60 days notice while the Operating Partnership can cancel it upon seven years notice. Management fee revenue derived from these management contracts with PSI and its affiliates totaled $625,000,$579,000 and $562,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Management
Joseph D. Russell, Jr. (47) leads the Company’s senior management team. Mr. Russell is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company’s executive management includes: John Petersen (43), ExecutivetVice President and Chief Operating Officer; Edward A. Stokx (41), Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Brett Franklin (42), Senior Vice President, Acquisitions and Dispositions; Maria R. Hawthorne (47), Senior Vice President (East Coast); Coby Holley (37), Vice President (Pacific Northwest Division), Robin E. Mather (44),Vice President (Southern California Division); William A. McFaul (41), Vice President (Maryland Division); and Viola Sanchez (44) Vice President (Southeast Division).
REIT Structure
If certain detailed conditions imposed by the Code and the related Treasury Regulations are met, an entity, suchas the Company, that invests principally in real estate and that otherwise would be taxed as a corporation may elect to be treated as a REIT. The most important consequence to the Company of being treated as a REIT for federalincome tax purposes is that the Company can deduct dividend distributions (including distributions on preferred stock) to its shareholders, thus effectively eliminating the “double taxation” (at the corporate and shareholder levels) that typically results when a corporation earns income and distributes that income to shareholders in the form of dividends.
The Company believes that it has operated, and intends to continue to operate, in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT under the Code, but no assurance can be given that it will at all times so qualify. To the extent that theCompany continues to qualify as a REIT, it will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable incomethat is distributed to its shareholders.
Operating Strategy
The Company believes its operating, acquisition and finance strategies combined with its diversified portfolioproduces a lower risk, higher growth business model. The Company’s primary objective is to grow shareholder value. Key elements of the Company’s growth strategy include:
Maximize Net Cash Flow of Existing Properties: The Company seeks to maximize the net cash flow generated by its properties by (i) maximizing average occupancy rates, (ii) achieving higher levels of realized monthly rents per occupied square foot and (iii) reducing its operating cost structure by improving operating efficiencies and economies of scale. The Company believes that its experienced property management personnel and comprehensivesystems combined with increasing economies of scale will enhance the Company’s ability to meet these goals. The Company seeks to increase occupancy rates and realized monthly rents per square foot by providing its field personnel with incentives to lease space to higher credit tenants and to maximize the return on investment in each lease transaction. The Company seeks to reduce its cost structure by controlling capital expenditures associated withre-leasing space by acquiring and owning properties with easily reconfigured space that appeal to a wide range of tenants.
Focus on Targeted Markets: The Company intends to continue investing in markets that have characteristicswhich enable them to be competitive economically. The Company believes that markets with some combination of above average population growth, education levels and personal income will produce better overall economic returns. As of December 31, 2006, substantially all of the Company’s square footage was located in these targeted core markets. The Company targets individual properties in those markets that are close to important services and tuniversities and have easy access to major transportation arteries.
Reduce Expenditures and Increase Occupancy Rates by Providing Flexible Properties and Attracting a Diversified Tenant Base: By focusing on properties with easily reconfigurable space, the Company believes it canffoffer facilities that appeal to a wide range of potential tenants, which aids in reducing the capital expenditures associated with re-leasing space. The Company believes this property flexibility also allows it to better serve existing tenants by accommodating their inevitable expansion and contraction needs. In addition, the Companybelieves that a diversified tenant base and property flexibility helps it maintain high occupancy rates during periods when market demand is weak, by enabling it to attract a greater number of potential users to its space.t
9
Provide Superior Property Management: The Company seeks to provide a superior level of service to its tenants in order to achieve high occupancy and rental rates, as well as minimal customer turnover. The Company’s property management offices are primarily located on-site or regionally located, providing tenants with convenient access to management and helping the Company maintain its properties and convey a sense of quality, order and security. TheCompany has significant experience in acquiring properties managed by others and thereafter improving tenant satisfaction, occupancy levels, renewal rates and rental income by implementing established tenant serviceprograms.
Financing Strategy
The Company’s primary objective in its financing strategy is to maintain financial flexibility and a low risk capital structure using permanent capital to finance its growth. Key elements of this strategy are:
Retain Operating Cash Flow: The Company seeks to retain significant funds (after funding its distributions and capital improvements) for additional investments. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company distributed 31.2% of its funds from operations (“FFO”) to common shareholders/unit holders. During the year endedDecember 31, 2005, the Company distributed 33.0% of its FFO to common shareholders/unit holders. The increase in FFO is primarily due to net operating income from acquired properties partially offset by the increase in non-cashdistributions associated with preferred equity redemptions. FFO is computed in accordance with the White Paper on mmFFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts(“NAREIT”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income, computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), before depreciation, amortization, minority interest in income and extraordinary items. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be analyzed in conjunction with net income. However, FFO should not be viewed as a substitute for net income as a measure of operating performance as it does not reflect depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditure and leasing costs necessary to maintain theoperating performance of the Company’s properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact the Company’s results of operations. Other REITs may use different methods for calculating FFO and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO may not be comparable to other real estate companies’ funds from operations. SeeItem 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Non-GAAP Supplemental Disclosure Measure: Funds from Operations,” for a reconciliationof FFO and net income allocable to common shareholders and for information on why the Company presents FFO.
Perpetual Preferred Stock/Units: The primary source of leverage in the Company’s capital structure is perpetualpreferred stock or equivalent preferred units in the operating partnership. This method of financing eliminates interest rate and refinancing risks because the dividend rate is fixed and the stated value or capital contribution is not required to be repaid. In addition, the consequences of defaulting on required preferred distributions is less severethan with debt. The preferred shareholders may elect two additional directors if six quarterly distributions go unpaid,whether or not consecutive.
Debt Financing: The Company has used debt financing to a limited degree. The primary source of debt that theCompany relies upon to provide short term capital is its $100.0 million unsecured line of credit with Wells Fargo. In the past, the Company also had an unsecured term loan in the amount of $50.0 million. This term loan was repaid in2004. From time to time, the Company has also borrowed funds on a short term basis from PSI.
Access to Acquisition Capital: The Company seeks to maintain a ratio of FFO to combined fixed charges and preferred distributions paid of 3.0 to 1.0. Fixed charges include interest expense and capitalized interest. Preferred distributions include amounts paid to preferred shareholders and preferred Operating Partnership unit holders. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the FFO to combined fixed charges and preferred distributions paid ratio was 2.9rrto 1.0, excluding the effects of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Topic D-42. The fixed charge ratio was belowthe Company’s objective of 3.0x as the Company issued preferred equity in 2006 in anticipation of redeeming higher rate preferred equity in 2006 and early 2007, which resulted in a higher level of preferred distributions. TheCompany believes that its financial position will enable it to access capital to finance its future growth. Subject tomarket conditions, the Company may add leverage to its capital structure. Throughout this Form 10-K, we use the term “preferred equity” to mean both the preferred stock issued by the Company and the preferred partnership units issued by the Operating Partnership and the term “preferred distributions” to mean dividends and distributions on the preferred stock and preferred partnership units.
10
Competition
Competition in the market areas in which many of the Company’s properties are located is significant and hasreduced the occupancy levels and rental rates of, and increased the operating expenses of, certain of these properties. Competition may be accelerated by any increase in availability of funds for investment in real estate. Barriers to entry are relatively low for those with the necessary capital and the Company competes for property acquisitions and tenants with entities that have greater financial resources than the Company. Recent increases in sublease space and unleased developments are expected to further intensify competition among operators in certain market areas in which the Company operates.
The Company’s properties compete for tenants with similar properties located in its markets primarily on the basis of location, rent charged, services provided and the design and condition of improvements. The Company believes it possesses several distinguishing characteristics that enable it to compete effectively in the flex, office and industrial space markets. The Company believes its personnel are among the most experienced in these real estatemarkets. The Company’s facilities are part of a comprehensive system encompassing standardized procedures and integrated reporting and information networks. The Company believes that the significant operating and financialexperience of its executive officers and directors combined with the Company’s capital structure, nationalinvestment scope, geographic diversity and economies of scale should enable the Company to compete effectively.
Investments in Real Estate Facilities
As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned and operated approximately 18.7 million rentable square feet compared to approximately 17.6 million rentable square feet at December 31, 2005. The net increase in rentable square feet was due to the acquisition of approximately 1.2 million square feet to its portfolio, partially offset by thedisposition of facilities that were identified by management as not meeting the Company’s ongoing investment strategy.
Summary of Business Model
The Company has a diversified portfolio. It is diversified geographically in eight states and has a diversified customer mix by size and industry concentration. The Company believes that this diversification combined with aconservative financing strategy, focus on markets with strong demographics for growth and our operating strategy gives the Company a business model that mitigates risk and provides strong long-term growth opportunities. k
Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates
The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company may engage in transactions with affiliates provided that a purchase or sale transaction with an affiliate is (i) approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors and (ii) fair to the Company based on an independent appraisal or fairness opinion.
Borrowings
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding mortgage notes payable of $67.0 million. See Notes 5aaand 6 to the consolidated financial statements for a summary of the Company’s outstanding borrowings as of uuDecember 31, 2006.
In August of 2005, the Company modified the term of its line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells FargoBank. The Credit Facility has a borrowing limit of $100.0 million and matures on August 1, 2008. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable monthly. At the option of the Company, the rate of interest charged is equal to (i)the prime rate or (ii) a rate ranging from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.50% to LIBOR plus 1.20% depending on the Company’s credit ratings and coverage ratios, as defined (currently LIBOR plus 0.65%). Inaddition, the Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.30% of the borrowing limit (currently 0.20%). In connection with the modification of the Credit Facility, the Company paid a fee of $450,000, which will be amortized over the life of the Credit Facility. The Company had no balance outstanding on its Credit Facility at December 31, 2006 and 2005.m
11
The Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain covenants including (i) maintain a balance sheet leverage ratio (as defined) of less than 0.45 to 1.00, (ii) maintain interest and fixed charge coverage ratios (as defined) of not less than 2.25 to 1.00 and 1.75 to 1.00, respectively, (iii) maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined) and (iv) limit distributions to 95% of funds from operations (as defined) for any four consecutive quarters.In addition, the Company is limited in its ability to incur additional borrowings (the Company is required to maintain unencumbered assets with an aggregate book value equal to or greater than two times the Company’s unsecured recourse debt; the Company did not have any unsecured recourse debt at December 31, 2006) or sell assets. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility at December 31, 2006.
In February, 2004, the Company repaid, in full, the $50.0 million unsecured term note agreement with Fleet National Bank. The Company incurred interest at LIBOR plus 1.45% per annum. During July, 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction which resulted in a fixed LIBOR rate of 3.01% for the term loanresulting in an all in rate of 4.46% per annum on the term loan. The unsecured note required the Company to meet covenants that were substantially the same as the covenants in the Credit Facility.
The Company has broad powers to borrow in furtherance of the Company’s objectives. The Company has incurred in the past, and may incur in the future, both short-term and long-term indebtedness to increase its funds available for investment in real estate, capital expenditures and distributions.
Employees
As of December 31, 2006, the Company employed 144 individuals, primarily personnel engaged in propertyoperations. The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good and none of the employees are represented by a labor union.
Insurance
The Company believes that its properties are adequately insured. Facilities operated by the Company have historically been covered by comprehensive insurance, including fire, earthquake, liability and extended coveragefrom nationally recognized carriers.
Environmental Matters
Compliance with laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those regardingthe discharge of material into the environment, has not had any material effects upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company.
Substantially all of the Company’s properties have been subjected to Phase I environmental reviews. Suchreviews have not revealed, nor is management aware of, any probable or reasonably possible environmental costs that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets or results of operations, nor is the Company aware of any potentially material environmental liability.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information in this Form 10-K, the following factors should be considered in evaluating our company and our business.
Public Storage has significant influence over us.
At December 31, 2006, Public Storage and its affiliates owned 25.4% of the outstanding shares of our commonstock and 25.5% of the outstanding common units of our operating partnership (100.0% of the common units not owned by us). Assuming conversion of its partnership units PSI would own 44.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Also, Ronald L. Havner, Jr., our Chairman of the Board, is also Chief Executive Officer, President and a Director of Public Storage and Harvey Lenkin, one of our Directors, is also a Director of Public Storage.Consequently, Public Storage has the ability to significantly influence all matters submitted to a vote of our
12
shareholders, including electing directors, changing our articles of incorporation, dissolving and approving other extraordinary transactions such as mergers, and all matters requiring the consent of the limited partners of theoperating partnership. In addition, Public Storage’s ownership may make it more difficult for another party to acquire us without Public Storage’s approval.
Provisions in our organizational documents may prevent changes in control.
Our articles generally prohibit owning more than 7% of our shares: Our articles of incorporation restrict the number of shares that may be owned by any other person, and the partnership agreement of our operatingpartnership contains an anti-takeover provision. No shareholder (other than Public Storage and certain other specified shareholders) may own more than 7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, unless our board of directors waives this limitation. We imposed this limitation to avoid, to the extent possible, a concentration of ownership that might jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT. This limitation, however, also makes a change of control much more difficult (if not impossible) even if it may be favorable to our public shareholders. Theseprovisions will prevent future takeover attempts not approved by Public Storage even if a majority of our public shareholders consider it to be in their best interests because they would receive a premium for their shares over theshares’ then market value or for other reasons.
Our board can set the terms of certain securities without shareholder approval: Our board of directors isauthorized, without shareholder approval, to issue up to 50.0 million shares of preferred stock and up to 100.0 million shares of Equity Stock, in each case in one or more series. Our board has the right to set the terms of each of these series of stock. Consequently, the board could set the terms of a series of stock that could make it difficult (if not impossible) for another party to take over our company even if it might be favorable to our public shareholders.Our articles of incorporation also contain other provisions that could have the same effect. We can also cause our operating partnership to issue additional interests for cash or in exchange for property.
The partnership agreement of our operating partnership restricts mergers: The partnership agreement of our operating partnership generally provides that we may not merge or engage in a similar transaction unless the limited partners of our operating partnership are entitled to receive the same proportionate payments as our shareholders. In addition, we have agreed not to merge unless the merger would have been approved had the limited partners beenable to vote together with our shareholders, which has the effect of increasing Public Storage’s influence over us dueto Public Storage’s ownership of operating partnership units. These provisions may make it more difficult for us to merge with another entity.
Our operating partnership poses additional risks to us.
Limited partners of our operating partnership, including Public Storage, have the right to vote on certain changesto the partnership agreement. They may vote in a way that is against the interests oft our shareholders. Also, as fgeneral partner of our operating partnership, we are required to protect the interests of the limited partners of theoperating partnership. The interests of the limited partners and of our shareholders may differ.
We would incur adverse tax consequences if we fail to qualify as a REIT.
Our cash flow would be reduced if we fail to qualify as a REIT: While we believe that we have qualified since1990 to be taxed as a REIT, and will continue to be so qualified, we cannot be certain. To continue to qualify as aREIT, we need to satisfy certain requirements under the federal income tax laws relating to our income, assets, distributions to shareholders and shareholder base. In this regard, the share ownership limits in our articles of incorporation do not necessarily ensure that our shareholder base is sufficiently diverse for us to qualify as a REIT.For any year we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be taxed at regular corporate tax rates on our taxable income unless certain relief provisions apply. Taxes would reduce our cash available for distributions to shareholders or for reinvestment, which could adversely affect us and our shareholders. Also we would not be allowed to elect REITstatus for five years after we fail to qualify unless certain relief provisions apply.
We may need to borrow funds to meet our REIT distribution requirements: To qualify as a REIT, we mustgenerally distribute to our shareholders 90% of our taxable income. Our income consists primarily of our share of our Operating Partnership’s income. We intend to make sufficient distributions to qualify as a REIT and otherwise
13
avoid corporate tax. However, differences in timing between income and expenses and the need to makenondeductible expenditures such as capital improvements and principal payments on debt could force us to borrow funds to make necessary shareholder distributions.
Since we buy and operate real estate, we are subject to general real estate investment and operating risks.
Summary of real estate risks: We own and operate commercial properties and are subject to the risks of owning real estate generally and commercial properties in particular. These risks include:
• the national, state and local economic climate and real estate conditions, such as oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes in market rental rates;
• how prospective tenants perceive the attractiveness, convenience and safety of our properties;
• difficulties in consummating and financing acquisitions and developments on advantageous terms and the failure of acquisitions and developments to perform as expected;
• our ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance;
• our ability to collect rent from tenants on a timely basis;
• the expense of periodically renovating, repairing and reletting spaces;
• environmental issues;
• compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other federal, state, and local laws and regulations;
• increasing operating costs, including real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, if these increased costs cannot be passed through to tenants;
• changes in tax, real estate and zoning laws;
• increase in new commercial properties in our market;
• tenant defaults and bankruptcies;
• tenant’s right to sublease space; and
• concentration of properties leased to non-rated private companies.
Certain significant costs, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance, generally arenot reduced even when a property’s rental income is reduced. In addition, environmental and tax laws, interest ratelevels, the availability of financing and other factors may affect real estate values and property income. Furthermore, ffthe supply of commercial space fluctuates with market conditions.
If our properties do not generate sufficient income to meet operating expenses, including any debt service, tenantimprovements, leasing commissions and other capital expenditures, we may have to borrow additional amounts to cover fixed costs, and we may have to reduce our distributions to shareholders.
We may be unable to consummate acquisitions and developments on advantageous terms or acquisitions and developments may fail to perform as expected: We continue to seek to acquire and develop flex, industrial and officeproperties where they meet our criteria and we believe that they will enhance our future financial performance and tthe value of our portfolio. Our belief, however, is based on and is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors,many of which are forward-looking and are uncertain in nature or are beyond our control, including the risks that our acquisitions and developments may not perform as expected, that we may be unable to quickly integrate new acquisitions and developments into our existing operations and that any costs to develop projects or redevelop
14
acquired properties may exceed estimates. Further, we face significant competition for suitable acquisition properties from other real estate investors, including other publicly traded real estate iu nvestment trusts and privateinstitutional investors. As a result, we may be unable to acquire additional properties we desire or the purchase price for desirable properties may be significantly increased. Moreover, some of these properties may have unknown characteristics or deficiencies or may not complement our portfolio of existing properties. In addition, we mayfinance future acquisitions and developments through a combination of borrowings, proceeds from equity or debt offerings by us or the operating partnership, and proceeds from property divestitures. These financing options may not be available when desired or required or may be more costly than anticipated, which could adversely affect our cash flow. Real property development is subject to a number of risks, including construction delays, complications in obtaining necessary zoning, occupancy and other governmental permits, cost overruns, financing risks, and the possible inability to meet expected occupancy and rent levels. If any of these problems occur, development costs for a project may increase, and there may be costs incurred for projects that are not completed. As a result of theforegoing, some properties may be worth less or may generate less revenue than, or simply not perform as well as, we believed at the time of acquisition or development, negatively affecting our operating results. Any of theforegoing risks could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flow, and our ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of our stock.
We may encounter significant delays and expense in reletting vacant space, or we may not be able to relet space at existing rates, in each case resulting in losses of income: When leases expire, we will incur expenses in retrofitting space and we may not be able to release the space on the same terms. Certain leases provide tenants with the right to terminate early. Our properties as of December 31, 2006 generallyrr have lower vacancy rates than the average for the markets in which they are located, and leases accounting for 18.9% of our annual rental income expire in 2007. While we have estimated our cost of renewing leases that expire in 2007, our estimates could bewrong. If we are unable to release space promptly, if the terms are significantly less favorable than anticipated or if the costs are higher, we may have to reduce our distributions to shareholders.
Tenant defaults and bankruptcies may reduce our cash flow and distributions: We may have difficulty incollecting from tenants in default, particularly if they declare bankruptcy. This could affect our cash flow and distributions to shareholders. Since many of our tenants are non-rated private companies, this risk may be enhanced. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, a tenant occupying approximatelaa y 134,000 square feet defaulted on its lease. The Company is currently pursuing legal action against the tenant and is uncertain of the outcome. While the Companyhistorically has experienced a low level of write-offs due to bankruptcy, there is inherent uncertainty in a tenant’s ability to continue paying rent if they are in bankruptcy. As of December 31y , 2006, the Company had approximately18,000 square feet occupied by a tenant protected by Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Given the historical uncertainty of a tenant’s ability to meet its lease obligations, we will continue to reserve any income that would havebeen realized on a straight line basis. From time to time, tenants have contacted us, requesting early termination of their lease, reduction in space under lease, rent deferment or abatement. At this time, the Company cannot anticipate what impact, if any, the ultimate outcome of these discussions will have on our operating results.
We may be adversely affected by significant competition among commercial properties: Many other commercial properties compete with our properties for tenants. Some of the competing properties may be newer and better located than our properties. We also expect that new properties will be built in our markets. Also, we compete with other buyers, many of which are larger than us, for attractive commercial properties. Therefore, we may not be able to grow as rapidly as we would like.
We may be adversely affected if casualties to our properties are not covered by insurance: We carry insuranceon our properties that we believe is comparable to the insurance carried by other operators for similar properties. However, we could suffer uninsured losses or losses in excess of policy limits for such occurrences such as earthquakes that adversely affect us or even result in loss of the property. We might still remain liable on anymortgage debt or other unsatisfied obligations related to that property.
The illiquidity of our real estate investments may prevent us from adjusting our portfolio to respond to market changes: There may be delays and difficulties in selling real estate. Therefore, we cannot easily change our portfolio when economic conditions change. Also, tax laws limit a REIT’s ability to sell properties held for less than four years.
15
We may be adversely affected by changes in laws: Increases in income and service taxes may reduce our cashflow and ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders. Our properties are also subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and safety codes. If we fail to comply with these requirements, governmental authorities could fine us or courts could award damages against us. Webelieve our properties comply with all significant legal requirements. However, these requirements could change in a way that would reduce our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders.
We may incur significant environmental remediation costs: Under various federal, state and local environmentallaws, an owner or operator of real estate may have to clean spills or other releases of hazardous or toxic substances fon or from a property. Certain environmental laws impose liability whether or not the owner knew of, or wasresponsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. In some cases, liability may exceed the value of the property. The presence of toxic substances, or the failure to properly remedy any resulting contamination, maymake it more difficult for the owner or operator to sell, lease or operate its property or to borrow money using its property as collateral. Future environmental laws may impose additional material liabilities on us.
We are affected by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires that access and use by disabled persons of all public faccommodations and commercial properties be facilitated. Existing commercial properties must be made accessible to disabled persons. While we have not estimated the cost of complying with this act, we do not believe the cost willbe material. We have an ongoing program to bring our properties into what we believe is compliance with theAmericans with Disabilities Act.
We depend on external sources of capital to grow our company.
We are generally required under the Internal Revenue Code to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income. Because of this distribution requirement, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessarybuilding and tenant improvements, from operating cash flow. Consequently, we may need to rely on third-party sources of capital to fund our capital needs. We may not be able to obtain the financing on favorable terms or at all. Access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on general market conditions, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current and expected future earnings, our cash flow, and the market price per share of our common stock. If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire properties whenstrategic opportunities exist, satisfy any debt service obligations, or make cash distributions to shareholders.
Our ability to control our properties may be adversely affected by ownership through partnerships and joint ventures.
We own most of our properties through our operating partnership. Our organizational documents do not prevent us from acquiring properties with others through partnerships or joint ventures. This type of investment may present additional risks. For example, our partners may have interests that differ from ours or that conflict with ours, or our partners may become bankrupt. During 2001, we entered into a joint venture arrangement that held property subject to debt. This joint venture has been liquidated and all debts paid; however, we may enter into similar arrangements with the same partner or other partners.
We can change our business policies and increase our level of debt without shareholder approval.
Our board of directors establishes our investment, financing, distribution and our other business policies and maychange these policies without shareholder approval. Our organizational documents do not limit our level of debt. Achange in our policies or an increase in our level of debt could adversely affect our operations or the price of our common stock.
We can issue additional securities without shareholder approval.
We can issue preferred equity, common stock and equity stock without shareholder approval. Holders of preferred stock have priority over holders of common stock, and the issuance of additional shares of stock reducesthe interest of existing holders in our company.
16
Increases in interest rates may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
One of the factors that influences the market price of our common stock is the annual rate of distributions that we pay on our common stock, as compared with interest rates. An increase in interest rates may lead purchasers of REIT shares to demand higher annual distribution rates, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Shares that become available for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Substantial sales of our common stock, or the perception that substantial sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As of December 31, 2006, Public Storage owned 25.4% of the outstandingshares of our common stock (44.5% upon conversion of its interest in our operating partnership). These shares, as well as shares of common stock held by certain other significant shareholders, are eligible to be sold in the publicmarket, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws.
We depend on key personnel.
We depend on our key personnel, including Ronald L. Havner, Jr., our Chairman of the Board, and Joseph D.Russell, Jr., our President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of Mr. Havner, Mr. Russell, or other key personnelcould adversely affect our operations. We maintain no key person insurance on our key personnel.
Terrorist attacks and the possibility of wider armed conflict may have an adverse impact on our business andoperating results and could decrease the value of our assets.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, such as those that took place on September 11, 2001, could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results. There can be no assurance that there will not be further terrorist attacks against the United States or its businesses or interests. Attacks or armed conflicts that directly impact one or more of our properties could significantly affect our ability to operate those properties and thereby impair our operating results. Further, we may not have insurance coverage for all losses caused by a terrorist aaattack. Such insurance may not be available, or if it is available and we decide to obtain such terrorist coverage, the cost for the insurance may be significant in relationship to the risk overall. In addition, the adverse effects that suchviolent acts and threats of future attacks could have on the U.S. economy could similarly have a material adverseeffect on our business and results of operations. Finally, further terrorist acts could cause the United States to enter into a wider armed conflict which could further impact our business and operating results.
Change in taxation of corporate dividends may adversely affect the value of our shares.
The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, enacted on May 28, 2003, generally reduces to 15% the maximum marginal rate of federal tax payable by individuals on dividends received from a regular Ccorporation. This reduced tax rate, however, does not apply to dividends paid to individuals by a REIT on its shares except for certain limited amounts. The earnings of a REIT that are distributed to its shareholders are still generallysubject to less federal income taxation on an aggregate basis than earnings of a non-REIT C corporation that aredistributed to its shareholders net of corporate-level income tax. The Jobs and Growth Tax Act, however, could cause individual investors to view stocks of regular C corporations as more attractive relative to shares of REITs than was the case prior to the enactment of the legislation because the dividet nds from regular C corporations, which previously were taxed at the same rate as REIT dividends, are now taxed at a maximum marginal rate of 15% while REIT dividends are taxed at a maximum marginal rate of 35%. We cannot estimate f what effect, if any, theenactment of this legislation has had on the value of our common stock, either in terms of price or relative to other investments.

(1) The Company owns one property that is subject to a ground lease in Las Colinas, Texas.
(2) Five commercial properties, one in San Diego, California, two in Chantilly, Virginia, one in Silver Spring, Maryland, one in Boca Raton, Florida, and two in Wellington, Florida, serve as collateral to mortgage notes payable. For more information, see Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We currently anticipate that each of these properties will continue to be used for its current purpose. Competitionexists in each of the market areas in which these properties are located. Significant amounts of capital appear to beavailable to fund potential buyers of commercial real estate and the Company may be competing for properties and tenants with entities that have greater financial resources than the Company. For information regarding generalcompetitive conditions to which the Company’s properties are or may be subject, see “Management’s Discussionand Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Overview — Effect of Economic Conditions onthe Company’s Primary Markets.”
The Company has no present plans for any material renovation, improvement or development of its properties. The Company typically renovates its properties in connection with the re-leasing of space to tenants and expects that it will pay the costs of such renovations from rental income. The Company has risks that tenants will default on leases and declare bankruptcy. Management believes these risks are mitigated through the Company’s geographicdiversity and diverse tenant base.

These tenants generally sign longer leases, mayrrequire more generous tenant improvements, are typically represented by a broker and are more creditworthy tenants. The remaining 39.7% of the Company’s annual rents are derived from small tenants with average spacerequirements of less than 5,000 square feet and a shorter lease term duration. Tenant improvements are relatively less for these tenants and most of these tenants are not represented by brokers and therefore the Company does not pay lease commissions. The following tables set forth the lease expirations for the entire portfolio of properties owned as of December 31, 2006 in addition to bifurcating the lease expirations for properties serving primarily small businesses and those properties serving primarily larger businesses (in thousands):

of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income, computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles(“GAAP”), before depreciation, amortization, minority interest in income and extraordinary items. FFO should be analyzed in conjunction with net income. However, FFO should not be viewed as a substitute for net income as a measure of operating performance or liquidity as it does not reflect depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditure and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of theCompany’s properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact the Company’s results of operations. Other REITs may use different methods for calculating FFO and, accordingly, the Company’sFFO may not be comparable to other real estate companies. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Funds from Operations,” for a reconciliation of FFO and net income allocable to common shareholders and for informationon why the Company presents FFO.

Overview
As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned and operated 18.7 million rentable square feet of multi-tenant flex, industrial and office properties located in eight states.
The Company focuses on increasing profitability and cash flow aimed at maximizing shareholder value. The Company strives to maintain high occupancy levels while increasing rental rates when market conditions allow. The Company also acquires properties it believes will create long-term value, and disposes of properties which no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives or in situations where the Company believes it can optimize cash proceeds. Operating results are driven by income from rental operations and are therefore substantially influencedby rental demand for space within our properties.
In 2006, the Company generally experienced solid and improving commercial real estate conditions throughout its portfolio. Markets experienced steady to improving demand with the Company having a greater ability throughout its portfolio to maintain or improve occupancy while in certain markets the Company raised rentsaggressively. During 2006, the Company still faced rental rate roll downs primarily on leases originally signed at a high market point prior to 2002. As of December 31, 2006, less than 5% of the Company’s leases were executed prior to December 31, 2002.
The Company successfully leased or re-leased 4.8 million square feet of space in 2006 and achieved an overalloccupancy of 93.4% as of December 31, 2006. The Company also continued to experience a trend of decreasing transaction costs from the high levels incurred in 2003 and 2004. Total net operating income increased from the year ended December 31, 2005 to 2006 by $13.7 million or 8.9%. See further discussion of operating results below.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:
Our accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K. We believe our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation, accrual of operating expenses and accruals for contingencies, each of which we discuss below.
Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB 104”). SAB 104 requires that the following four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: persuasive evidenceof an arrangement exists; the delivery has occurred or services rendered; the fee is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. All leases are classified as operating leases. Rental income is recognized on adstraight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Straight-line rent is recognized for all tenants with contractual increases in rent that are not included on the Company’s credit watch list. Deferred rent receivables represent rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of billed rents. Reimbursements from tenants for realestate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as rental income in the period theapplicable costs are incurred.
Property Acquisitions: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations, we allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to land, buildings and equipment and identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities associated with in-place leases (including tenant improvements, unamortized leasing commissions, value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, if any) based on their respective estimated fair values.
The fair value of the tangible assets of the acquired properties considers the value of the properties as if vacant as of the acquisition date. Management must make significant assumptions in determining the value of assets and liabilities acquired. Using different assumptions in the allocation of the purchase cost of the acquired properties would affect the timing of recognition of the related revenue and expenses. Amounts allocated to land are derived from comparable sales of land within the same region. Amounts allocated to buildings and improvements, tenant improvements and unamortized leasing commissions are based on current market replacement costs and other market rate information.
28
The amount allocated to acquired in-place leases is determined based on management’s assessment of current market conditions and the estimated lease-up periods for the respective spaces. The amount allocated to acquired in-place leases is included in deferred leasing costs and other related intangible assets in the balance sheet and amortized as an increase to amortization expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective rleases.
The value allocable to the above or below market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) management’s estimate of the rents that would be paid using fair market rental rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above or below market leases are included in other assets or other liabilities in the balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase or reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Rental revenue from our tenants is our principal source of revenue. We monitor the collectibility of our receivable balances including the deferred rent receivable on an on-going basis. Based on these reviews, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the possible inability of our tenants to make required rent payments to us. Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible tenant receivables and deferred rent. As discussed below, determination of the adequacy of these allowances requires significant judgments and estimates. Estimate of the required allowance is subject to revision as the factors discussed below change and is sensitive to theeffect of economic and market conditions on our tenants.
Tenant receivables consist primarily of amounts due for contractual lease payments, reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses, property taxes and other expenses recoverable from tenants. Determinationof the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible current tenant receivables is performed using a methodology that incorporates specific identification, aging analysis, an overall evaluation of the historical loss trends and the fcurrent economic and business environment. The specific identification methodology relies on factors such as the age and nature of the receivables, the payment history and financial condition of the tenant, the assessment of rrthe tenant’s ability to meet its lease obligations, and the status of negotiations of any disputes with the tenant. The allowance also includes a reserve based on historical loss trends not associated with any specific tenant. This reserve as well as the specific identification reserve is reevaluated quarterly based on economic conditions andffthe current business environment.
Deferred rents receivable represents the amount that the cumulative straight-line rental income recorded todate exceeds cash rents billed to date under the lease agreement. Given the longer-term nature of these types of receivables, determination of the adequacy of the allowance for unbilled qq deferred rents receivables is based primarily on historical loss experience. Management evaluates the allowance for unbilled deferred rents treceivable using a specific identification methodology for significant tenants designed to assess their financial condition and ability to meet their lease obligations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company evaluates a property for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the whole portfolio for impairment based on current operating information. In theevent that these periodic assessments reflect that the carrying amount of a property exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) that are expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the property, the Company would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeded the testimated fair value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on subjective assumptions dependent upon future and current market conditions and events that affect theultimate value of the property. It requires management to make assumptions related to the property such asfuture rental rates, tenant allowances, operating expenditures, property taxes, capital improvements, occupancylevels, and the estimated proceeds generated from the future sale of the property. These assumptions could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Since SFAS No. 144 provides that the future cash flows used inthis analysis be considered on an undiscounted basis, our historically established intent to hold properties over r
29
the long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If our strategy changes or if market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss could be recognized and such losscould be material.
Depreciation: We compute depreciation on our buildings and equipment using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of generally 30 and 5 years. A significant portion of the acquisition cost of each rrproperty is allocated to building and building components. The allocation of the acquisition cost to building and building components, as well as the determination of their useful lives, are based on estimates. If we do not appropriately allocate to these components or we incorrectly estimate the useful lives of these components, our computation of depreciation expense may not appropriately reflect the actual impact of these costs over futurefperiods, which will affect net income. In addition, the net book value of real estate assets could be over or understated. The statement of cash flows, however, would not be affected.
Accruals of Operating Expenses: The Company accrues for property tax expenses, performance bonuses and other operating expenses each quarter based on historical trends and anticipated disbursements. If these estimatesare incorrect, the timing of expense recognition will be affected.
Accruals for Contingencies: The Company is exposed to business and legal liability risks with respect to events that may have occurred, but in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) has not accrued for such potential liabilities because the loss is either not probable or not estimable. Futureevents and the result of pending litigation could result in such potential losses becoming probable and estimable, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Effect of Economic Conditions on the Company’s Operations: Over the course of 2006, improving economic conditions in the United States were reflected in commercial real estate as market conditions allowed for higher rents throughout the Company’s portfolio along with a continued reduction in rent concessions and tenant improvement allowances.
Subsequent to December 31, 2006, a tenant occupying approximately 134,000 square feet defaulted on its lease.The Company is currently pursuing legal action against the tenant and is uncertain of the outcome. While the Company historically has experienced a low level of write-offs due to bankruptcy, there is inherent uncertainty in a fftenant’s ability to continue paying rent if they are in bankruptcy. As of December 31kk , 2006 the Company had approximately 18,000 square feet occupied by a tenant protected by Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Given the historical uncertainty of a tenant’s ability to meet its lease obligations, we will continue to reserve any income that would have been realized on a straight line basis. Several other tenants have contacted us, requesting earlytermination of their lease, reduction in space under lease, rent deferment or abatement. At this time, the Company cannot anticipate what impact, if any, the ultimate outcome of these discussions will have on our operating results.
Effect of Economic Conditions on the Company’s Primary Markets: The Company has concentrated itsoperations in nine markets. Each of these markets has been affected by changing economic conditions in some way. The Company’s overall view of these markets as of December 31, 2006 is summarized below. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company has seen rental rates on executed leases increase by an average of 2.7% over the most recent in-place rents. Each of the nine markets that the Company owns assets in is subject to its ownunique market influences. The Company has outlined the various market influences for each specific market below.In addition, the Company has compiled market occupancy information using third party reports for each of therespective markets. These sources are deemed to be reliable by the Company, but there can be no assurance that these reports are accurate.
The Company owns approximately 4.0 million square feet in Southern California. This is one of the healthiest markets in our portfolio. In 2006 the market experienced rising rental rates. Vacancy rates decreased slightly throughout Southern California with an average market vacancy rate of 5.3% for 2006. The rental rates on newtransactions within the Company’s properties improved by 6.7% over in-place rents. The Company’s vacancy rate at December 31, 2006 was 3.8%.
The Company owns approximately 1.6 million square feet in Northern California with a concentration in tSacramento, the East Bay (Hayward and San Ramon) and the Silicon Valley (San Jose). The vacancy rates in these
30
submarkets stand at 8.6%, 4.6% and 7.5%, respectively. Market rental rates dropped dramatically in 2006 and 2005as a result of an oversupply of commercial space and weak demand. During 2006, certain portions of the NorthernCalifornia market began to experience improving demand for space, resulting in a slight decrease in market vacancy.The Company’s vacancy rate at December 31, 2006 was 6.5%.
The Company owns approximately 1.2 million square feet in the Austin and Greater Houston markets. The tAustin market has had a steady level of lease demand during 2006 which has enabled the Company to increase rental rates on new leases by approximately 12.3% over in-place rents. The Houston market continues to stabilize occupancy and rental rates. With a more diverse tenant base, this market has not been as significantly impacted as other parts of Texas that were more reliant on the telecommunications and technology industries, which contracted over the last several years. In addition, the strong oil and gas industry has helped stabilize and improve the Houstonmarket. The Company’s vacancy rate at December 31, 2006 was 7.8%.
The Company owns approximately 1.7 million square feet in the Dallas Metroplex market. The vacancy rate inLas Colinas, where most of the Company’s properties are located, is 12.5%. During 2006, modest new construction continued, which included both speculative construction, as well as owner user construction. The Company believesthat any such new construction could cause vacancy rates to rise and limit opportunities to increase rental rates. However, 2006 brought a higher level of leasing activity in the market than it had experienced over the past twoyears. The Company’s vacancy rate at December 31, 2006 was 16.3%.
The Company owns approximately 3.6 million square feet in South Florida. On December 8, 2006, the Company acquired two assets with a combined total of 398,000 rentable square feet located in Palm Beach County. The assets,which are comprised of Boca Commerce Park and Wellington Commerce Park, was 97.8% occupied at the time of acquisition. Miami International Commerce Center (“MICC”) located in the Airport West submarket of Miami-Dade County had a vacancy rate of 1.2% compared with a vacancy rate for the entire submarket of 5.9%. MICC is located less than one mile from the cargo entrance of the Miami International Airport, which is considered one of the most active ports in the Southeast. Leasing activity is strong, resulting in better than market occupancy.
The Company owns approximately 2.9 million square feet in the Northern Virginia submarket of WashingtonD.C., where the average market vacancy rate was 8.6% for 2006. Washingtt on D.C. submarkets have continued to be positively impacted by federal government spending and government contracting trends. The Company’s vacancyrate at December 31, 2006 was 6.7%.
The Company owns approximately 1.8 million square feet in the Maryland submarket of Washington D.C. The portfolio is located primarily in Montgomery County and Silver Spring. The Company expects the business of the federal government, defense contractors and the biotech industry to remain stable in 2007. The Company’s vacancy rate at December 31, 2006 was 4.4% compared to the 2006 market average of 8.8%.
The Company owns approximately 1.3 million square feet in the Beaverton submarket of Portland, Oregon. In2006, the Company experienced improving lease terms as a result of incrd easing lease activity. The vacancy rate in this market is over 17.1%. On the supply side, the Company does not believe significant new construction starts will occur during 2007 as light demand and general availability had a negative impact on the market rental rates. The Company’s vacancy rate at December 31, 2006 was 7.7%.
The Company owns approximately 679,000 square feet in the Phoenix market. Overall, the Phoenix market hasbeen characterized by steady growth. However, average market rental rates have declined over the past several yearsas demand for space subsided. The vacancy rate in this market is over 7.3%. The Company’s vacancy rate at December 31, 2006 was 8.4%.
Growth of the Company’s Operations and Acquisitions and Dispositions of Properties: During 2005 and 2006,the Company focused on maximizing cash flow from its existing core portfolio of properties and through acquisitions and dispositions of properties, expanding its presence in existing markets through strategic acquisitions.
In 2006, the Company added 1.2 million square feet to its portfolio at an aggregate cost of $180.3 million. TheCompany acquired WesTech Business Park, a 366,000 square foot office and flex park in Silver Spring, Maryland, for $69.3 million; a 88,800 square foot multi-tenant flex buildings in Signal Hill, California, for $10.7 million; a
31
107,300 square foot multi-tenant flex park in Chantilly, Virginia, for $15.8 million; Meadows Corporate Park, a 165,000 square foot multi-tenant office park in Silver Spring, Maryland, for $29.9 million; Rogers Avenue, a 66,500square foot multi-tenant industrial and flex park in San Jose, California, for $8.4 million; and Boca Commerce Park and Wellington Commerce Park, two multi-tenant industrial, flex and storage parks, aggregating 398,000 square feet, located in Palm Beach County, Florida, for $46.2 million. In connection with the Meadows Corporate Park purchase, the Company assumed a $16.8 million mortgage with a fixed interest rate of 7.20% through November, 2011, at which time it can be prepaid without penalty. In addition, in connection with the Palm Beach County purchases, the Company assumed three mortgages with a combined total of $23.8 million with a weighted averagefixed interest rate of 5.84%. During 2005, the Company acquired a 233,000 square foot, multi-tenant flex and officeproperty in San Diego, California, for $35.1 million including the assumption of a $15.0 million mortgage which bears an interest rate of 5.73% and matures on March 1, 2013. During 2004, the Company acquired a 165,000 square foot office complex in Fairfax, Virginia, for $24.1 million. The Company plans to continue to build itspresence in existing markets by acquiring high quality facilities in selected markets. The Company targets propertieswith below market rents which may offer it growth in rental rates above market averages, and which offer theCompany the ability to achieve economies of scale resulting in more efficient operations.
Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Company acquired Overlake Business Center, a 493,000 square foot multi-tenant office and flex business park located in Redmond, Washington, for $76.0 million, including transaction costs. The park, which was 90.0% leased at the time of acquisition, has 171 tenants in 27 separate one and two story buildings.
During 2006, the Company sold a 30,500 square foot building located in Beaverton, Oregon, for $4.4 million resulting in a gain of $1.5 million. Additionally in 2006, the Company sold 32,400 square feet in Miami for acombined total of $3.7 million, resulting in a gain of $865,000.
In 2005, the Company sold Woodside Corporate Park located in Beaverton, Oregon. Net proceeds from the sales were $64.5 million and the Company reported a gain of $12.5 million. The sale consisted of 13 buildings comprising 574,000 square feet and 3.3 acres of adjacent land. The park was 76.8% leased at the time of the sale. In addition, kthe Company sold 8.2 acres of land in the Beaverton area for $3.6 million resulting in a gain of $1.8 million. Six units totaling 44,000 square feet and a small parcel of land at Miami International Commerce Center (“MICC”) were sold for a combined sales price of $5.8 million resulting in an aggregate gain of $1.9 million. The Company sold a retail center located at MICC consisting of 56,000 square feet for a sales price of $12.2 million resulting in a gain of t$967,000.
In 2004, the Company sold a 43,000 square foot flex facility in Austin, Texas, for gross proceeds of $1.2 million,a 30,500 square foot building in Beaverton, Oregon, for gross proceeds of $3.1 million, a 10,000 and 7,100 squarefoot unit at MICC, with combined gross proceeds of $1.9 million and two flex parks totaling 400,000 square feet in Maryland, for combined gross proceeds of $44.2 million. In connection with thf ese sales, the Company reported an aggregate gain of $15.5 million.
Impact of Inflation: Although inflation has not been significant in recent years, it is still a factor in our economyand the Company continues to seek ways to mitigate its impact. A substantial portion of the Company’s leases require tenants to pay operating expenses, including real estate taxes, utilities, and insurance, as well as increases in common area expenses, partially reducing the Company’s exposure to inflation. During 2005 and 2006, the Company experienced a significant increase in certain operating costs including repairs and maintenance, propertyinsurance and utility costs impacting the Company’s overall profit margin. The Company anticipates that this inflationary pressure will likely continue in 2007.
Concentration of Portfolio by Region: Rental income, cost of operations and rental income less cost of operations, excluding depreciation and amortization or net operating income prior to depreciation and amortization(defined as “NOI” for purposes of the following table) from continuing operations are summarized for the year ended December 31, 2006 by major geographic region below. The Company uses NOI and its components as ameasurement of the performance of its commercial real estate. Management believes that these financial measures provide them as well as the investor the most consistent measurement on a comparative basis of the performance of the commercial real estate and its contribution to the value of the Company. Depreciation and amortization have been excluded from these financial measures as they are generally not used in determining the value of commercial
32
real estate by management or the investment community. Depreciation and amortization are generally not used indetermining value as they consider the historical costs of as asset compared to its current value; therefore, to understand the effect of the assets’ historical cost on the Company’s results, investors should look at GAAP financial measures, such as total operating costs including depreciation and amortization. The Company’scalculation of NOI may not be comparable to those of other companies and should not be used as an alternative tomeasures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accn ounting principles. The table below reflects rental income, operating expenses and NOI from continuing operations for the year ended December 31,2006 based on geographical concentration. The total of all regions is equal to the amount of rental income and cost of operations recorded by the Company in accordance with GAAP. We have also included the most comparableGAAP measure which includes total depreciation and amortization. The percent of totals by region reflects theactual contribution to rental income, cost of operations and NOI during the period from properties included in continuing operations (in thousands):

Comparison of 2006 to 2005
Results of Operations: Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $64.6 million compared to $75.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Net income allocable to common shareholders (net income less preferred stock distributions) for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $16.6 million compared to $32.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Net income per common share on a diluted basis was $0.77 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $1.47 for the year ended December 31, 2005 (based on weighted averagediluted common shares outstanding of 21,646,000 and 22,018,000, respectively). The decrease was due to a reduction in income from discontinued operations of $14.0 million combined with an increase in non-cash distributions associated with preferred equity redemptions of $4.4 million, partially offset by the increase in income from continuing operations of $3.3 million.
The following table presents the operating results of the properties for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 in addition to other income and expense items affecting income from continuing operations.

The discussion of regional information below relates to Same Park properties:
Southern California
This region includes San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles Counties. The increase in rental income was the result of a strong market supported by a diverse economy. The Company’s weighted average occupancies for the region increased from 94.8% in 2005 to 96.2% in 2006. Realized rent per square foot increased 3.7% from $15.57 per square foot for 2005 to $16.14 per square foot in 2006. These markets experienced increasing rental rates and decreasing vacancy rates as a result of sustained strong economic conditions.
Northern California
This region includes Sacramento, South San Francisco, the East Bay and the Silicon Valley submarkets that had been affected by high vacancy due in part to failed technology companies. Economic conditions in the Silicon Valley submarkets began to show some signs of recovery as demand for space increased and rents started to stabilize. The Company’s weighted average occupancies outperformed the market with occupancy increasing from 93.2% in 2005 to 94.7% in 2006. Realized rent per square foot decreased 2.1% from $13.56 per square foot in 2005 compared to $13.27 per square foot in 2006.
35
Southern Texas
This region, which includes Austin and Houston, is one of the Company’s markets that has faced challengingmarket conditions with the Company’s operating results continuing to be impacted by the effects of sharply reduced market rental rates, higher vacancies and business failures. During 2006, the Company’s Southern Texas portfolio experienced a moderate level of activity which was evidenced in the occupancy improvement within the portfolio.The Company’s weighted average occupancies increased from 85.9% in 2005 to 89.5% in 2006. Realized rent per msquare foot increased 4.6% from $9.64 per square foot in 2005 to $10.08 per square foot in 2006.
Northern Texas
This region consists of the Dallas market. This market has been impacted by high vacancy levels and rent roll downs due to general availability of space, modest economic drivers and ongoing development. However, leasing activity in the market increased modestly during 2006. The Company’s weighted average occupancies for the region decreased from 85.9% in 2005 to 80.3% in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to the early 2006 expiration of 198,000 square feet previously leased to Citigroup. As of December 31, 2006, all of this space has been re-leased. Realized rent per square foot increased 0.4% from $10.82 per square foot in 2005 to $10.86 per square foot in 2006.
South Florida
This region consists of the Company’s business park located in the submarket of Miami-Dade County. The park is located less than one mile from the Miami International Airport. The Company’s weighted average occupanciesfor the park increased from 92.8% in 2005 to 96.4% in 2006. Realized rent per square foot increased 5.9% from $7.44 per square foot in 2005 to $7.88 in 2006. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 3.5% over the same period in 2005 due primarily to repairs and maintenance related to the continued clean-up from hurricane damage sustained in 2005 along with increased insurance and utility costs.
Virginia
This region includes the major Northern Virginia suburban markets surrounding the greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The greater Washington D.C. market continues to demonstrate solid fundamentals with sustained demand for space, improving rental rates and lower concessions. A major contributor to the market strength was tied to government contracting and defense spending. Approximately 11.7% of the existing leases in this market were executed prior to 2002, which was considered a high point in the market. This has and will continue to result insome rental rate roll downs as these leases are replaced at market rates. The Company’s weighted averageoccupancies decreased from 95.4% in 2005 to 94.8% in 2006. Realized rent per square foot increased 3.3% from $18.33 per square foot in 2005 to $18.94 per square foot in 2006.
Maryland
This region consists of facilities primarily in Montgomery County. Considered part of the greater WashingtonD.C. market, Maryland continues to experience solid market demand. In more recent years this submarket has had a significant amount of sublease space, which placed increased pressure on rental rates and vacancy. This supply of sublease space has decreased, thereby decreasing downward pressure on rental rates. Approximately 7.4% of the existing leases in this market were executed prior to 2002, which was considered a high point in the market. This has and will continue to result in some rental rate roll downs. The Company’s weighted average occupancies increased from 95.4% in 2005 to 97.4% in 2006. Considered part of the Washington DC Metro market, Maryland is experiencing improving market conditions due primarily to higher levels of government contracting. Realized rent per square foot increased 4.8% from $20.47 per square foot in 2005 to $21.45 per square foot in 2006.
Oregon
This region consists primarily of two business parks in the Beaverton submarket of Portland, Oregon. Portland has been one of the markets hardest hit by the technology slowdown. In 2003 and 2004, the slowdown resulted inearly lease terminations, low levels of tenant retention and significant declines in rental rates. During 2005 and continuing in 2006, the market experienced higher levels of leasing activity, with rental rates declining significantly f
36
from in-place rents and higher leasing concessions. The Company’s weighted average occupancies increased from 86.2% in 2005 to 90.0% in 2006. Realized rent per square foot decreased 3.2% from $16.15 per square foot in 2005 to $15.63 per square foot in 2006.
Arizona
The Arizona region consists primarily of properties in the Phoenix and Tempe areas, where rents are moderatelyincreasing and rent concessions have been reduced. The Company’s weighted average occupancies in the region decreased from 94.5% in 2005 to 94.0% in 2006. Realized rent per square foot increased 1.6% from $10.81 per square foot in 2005 to $10.98 in 2006.
Facility Management Operations: The Company’s facility management operations account for a small portionof the Company’s net income. During the year ended December 31, 2006, $625,000 of revenue was recognized fromfacility management fees compared to $579,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Cost of Operations: Cost of operations, excluding discontinued operations, was $74.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $65.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was dueprimarily to the growth in the square footage of the Company’s portfolio of properties. Cost of operations as a percentage of rental income increased slightly from 29.9% in 2005 to 30.8% in 2006. Cost of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 consisted primarily of the following items: property taxes ($21.1 mtt illion); propertymaintenance ($17.1 million); utilities ($15.2 million); and payroll ($12.0 million) as compared to cost of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 which consisted primarily of the following items: property taxes ($19.5million); property maintenance ($15.1 million); utilities ($12.8 million); and payroll ($10.2 million).
Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expense, excluding discontinuedoperations, was $86.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $76.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions in 2006, as well as depreciation expense on capital and tenant improvements acquired during 2005.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expense was $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. General and administrativeexpenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 consisted mainly of the following items: expenses which relate to the accounting, finance, and executive divisions of the Company, which primarily consist of payroll expenses ($2.9million); professional fees, including expenses related to outside accounting, tax, legal and investor services ($1.2million); stock compensation expense ($2.2 million); and other various expenses. General and administrativeexpenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 consisted mainly of the following items: expenses which relate to the accounting, finance, and executive divisions of the Company, which primarily consist of payroll expenses ($3.0million); professional fees, including expenses related to outside accounting, tax, legal and investor services ($1.1million); stock compensation expense ($634,000); and other various expenses. The increase in stock compensation expense was primarily due to the long term incentive plan for senior management put into place in the first quarter of 2006.
Interest and Other Income: Interest and other income reflects earnings on cash balances and dividends on marketable securities in addition to miscellaneous income items. Interest income was $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily related to interest earned on cash balances which earned approximately 4.9%interest compared to 3.1% in 2005.
Interest Expense: Interest expense was $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $1.3 rmillion for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily attributable to the mortgages assumed in connection with the purchase of Rose Canyon Business Park in San Diego, California, Meadows Corporate Park in Silver Spring, Maryland and Wellington Commerce Park and Boca Commerce Park in Palm Beach County, Florida.m
Gain on Disposition of Real Estate: Included in income from discontinued operations are gains on dispositions of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $2.3 million compared to $18.1 million for the year ended dDecember 31, 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company disposed of five properties, four inMiami and one in Oregon. The four properties in Miami generated an aggregate gain of $865,000 with the
37
remaining one property in Oregon providing a net gain of $1.5 million. In 2005, the Company disposed of eight properties, one in Oregon and seven in Miami, as well as, three parcels of land in Oregon and a small parcel of land in Miami. The property in Beaverton, Oregon generated a gain of $12.5 million with the remaining properties and land providing a net gain of $5.6 million.
Minority Interest in Income: Minority interest in income reflects the income allocable to equity interests in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Company. Minority interest in income was $16.8 million ($11.2 million allocated to preferred unit holders and $5.7 million allocated to common unit holders) for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $21.5 million ($10.7 million allocated to preferred unit holders and $10.9 million allocated to common unit holders) for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to thereduction of gain on disposition of real estate and income from sold properties allocated to minority interest offset with an increase in additional distributions to preferred unit holders for redemption of preferred partnership units.
Comparison of 2005 to 2004
Results of Operations: Net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $75.3 million compared to $62.1million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Net income allocable to common shareholders (net income lesspreferred stock distributions) for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $32.3 million compared to $29.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Net income per common share on a diluted basis was $1.47 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $1.33 for the year ended December 31, 2004 (based on weighted average diluted common shares outstanding of 22,018,000 and 21,960,000, respectively). The increase was due to theincrease in rental income of $8.7 million and interest income of $4.5 million partially offset by an increase in cost of operations of $2.7 million and depreciation of $6.2 million.
The following table presents the operating results of the properties for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 in addition to other income and expense items affecting income from continuing operations.

Supplemental Property Data and Trends: In order to evaluate the performance of the Company’s overall portfolio over two given years, management analyzes the operating performance of a consistent group of properties owned and operated throughout both those years. The Company refers to those properties as the Same Park facilities. For 2005 and 2004, the Same Park facilities constitute 17.1 million rentable square feet, which includes all assets in continuing operations that the Company owned and operated from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2005, representing approximately 97.7% of the total square footage of the Company’s portfolio for 2005.
Rental income, cost of operations and rental income less cost of operations, excluding depreciation and amortization, or net operating income prior to depreciation and amortization (defined as “NOI” for purposes of thefollowing table) from continuing operations are summarized for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 by major geographic region below. See “Concentration of Portfolio by Region” above for more information on NOI, including why the Company presents NOI and how the Company uses NOI.

The discussion of regional information below relates to Same Park properties:
Southern California
This region includes San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles Counties. Rental income and NOI for 2005 were slightly higher than 2004 due to an increase in weighted average occupancy and increasing rental rates. Weighted average occupancies have increased from 93.0% in 2004 to 94.8% in 2005. Realized rent per square foot increased2.4% from $15.21 per square foot for 2004 to $15.57 per square foot in 2005. The increases in this market werereflective of the general strength of the Southern California real estate market.
39
Northern California
This region includes Sacramento, South San Francisco, the East Bay and the Silicon Valley, a submarket that ttcontinues to be impacted by an over supply of commercial space due in part to failed technology companies. Rentalincome and NOI decreased from 2004 to 2005 primarily due to the loss of a large tenant in the San Jose portfolio. Weighted average occupancies outperformed the market, yet they decreased from 95.0% in 2004 to 93.2% in 2005 primarily due to a bankruptcy and early termination of a 91,000 square foot tenant in the San Ramon portfolio. Realized rent per square foot decreased 0.8% from $13.68 per square foot in 2004 compared to $13.57 per squarefoot in 2005.
Southern Texas
This region, which includes Austin and Houston, faced challenging market condff itions with the Company’soperating results continuing to be impacted by the effects of sharply reduced market rental rates, higher vacanciesand business failures. These effects on rental revenue were mitigated by reduced operating costs, primarily inpayroll. Weighted average occupancies increased from 83.2% in 2004 to 85.9% in 2005. Despite an increase inoccupancy, realized rent per square foot decreased 3.5% from $9.95 per square foot in 2004 to $9.60 per square foot in 2005.
Northern Texas
This region includes the Dallas area. The increase in rental income and NOI were due primarily to increased occupancies and rental rates. This market continued to be impacted by high vacancy levels due to general availability of space, modest economic drivers and ongoing development. Weighted average occupancies increased from 82.8% in 2004 to 85.9% in 2005. Realized rent per square foot increased 6.8% from $10.14 per square foot in2004 to $10.83 per square foot in 2005.
South Florida
This region includes the Miami area. The Company’s assets continue to outperform the market. Rental income and net operating income increases were a result of occupancy increases. Weighted average occupancies increased uufrom 84.0% in 2004 to 92.9% in 2005. Realized rent per square foot decreased 1.6% from $7.58 in 2004 to $7.46 in2005.
Virginia
This region includes all major Northern Virginia suburban submarkets surrounding the Washington D.C.metropolitan area. The Washington DC Metro market is considered one of the Company’s strongest markets driven largely by increased government contracting and defense spending. In many situations the Company was able to reduce tenant concessions and increase rental rates, yet the Company still had a number of leases executed prior to f2002, which was considered a high point in the market. This continued to result in some rental rate roll downs in the Virginia submarket. The increase in revenue was offset by increasing operating expenses, primarily utilities,resulting in a slight increase in NOI. Weighted average occupancies decreased from 96.5% in 2004 to 95.6% in 2005. Realized rent per square foot increased 3.4% from $17.54 per square foot in 2004 to $18.13 per square foot in 2005.
Maryland
This region consists primarily of facilities in Montgomery County. Weighted average occupancies increased from 91.2% in 2004 to 95.4% in 2005. Considered part of the Washington DC Metro market, Maryland experienced improving market conditions due primarily to higher levels of government contracting. Realized rent per square foot fdecreased 5.3% from $21.63 per square foot in 2004 to $20.49 per square foot in 2005. The decrease in rental rateswas a result of certain large tenants re-leasing at rates below expiring rental rates. The higher rental rates were tied to leases transacted during a high point in this commercial real estate market prior to 2002.
40
Oregon
This region consists primarily of two business parks in the Beaverton submarket of Portland. Oregon was one of the markets hardest hit by the technology slowdown. In 2003 and 2004, the slowdown resulted in early leaseterminations, low levels of tenant retention and significant declines in rental rates. During 2005, the marketexperienced higher levels of leasing activity, with rental rates declining significantly from in-place rents and higher leasing concessions. Weighted average occupancies increased from 78.2% in 2004 to 86.2% in 2005. Realized rent per square foot decreased 8.0% from $17.55 per square foot in 2004 to $16.15 per square foot in 2005.
Arizona
The Arizona region consists primarily of properties in the Phoenix and Tempe areas. The Company’s weighted average occupancies in the region increased from 92.5% in 2004 to 94.5% in 2005. Realized rent per square foot increased 3.1% from $10.49 per square foot in 2004 to $10.81 per square for in 2005.
Facility Management Operations: The Company’s facility management operations account for a small portionof the Company’s net income. During the year ended December 31, 2005, $579,000 of revenue was recognized fromfacility management fees compared to $624,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Cost of Operations: Cost of operations, excluding discontinued operations, was $65.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $63.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was due primarily to the growth in the square footage of the Company’s portfolio of properties. Cost of operations as a percentage of rental income remained flat at 29.9% for 2004 and 2005. Cost of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of the following items: property taxes ($19.5 million); property maintenance ($15.1 million); utilities ($12.8 million); and payroll ($10.2 million) as compared to cost of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 which consisted primarily of the following items: property taxes ($19.2 million); property maintenance ($14.2 million); utilities ($11.3 million); and payroll ($10.5 million).
Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expense, excluding discontinued operations, was $76.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $69.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to depreciation expense on capital put in place in 2005 and at the end of 2004.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expense was $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31d , 2004. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 consisted mainly of the following items: expenses which relate to the accounting, finance, and executive divisions of the Company, which primarily consist of payroll expenses ($3.0 million); professional fees, including expenses related to outside accounting, tax, legal and investor services ($1.1 million); stock compensation expense ($634,000); and other various expenses. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 consisted mainly of the following items: expensf es which relate to the accounting, finance, and executive divisions of the Company, which primarily consist of payroll expenses ($2.4 million); professional fees, including expenses related to Sarbanes Oxley Section 404 (“SOX 404”) Compliance, outside accounting, tax, legal and investor services ($1.3 million); stock compensation expense ($93,000); and other various expenses. During 2004, the Company incurred approximately $600,000 related to its efforts to ensure compliance with SOX 404. While management experienced the ongoing costs of ensuring compliance with SOX 404 during 2005, the amount decreased substantially as a significant portion of the work that was previously performed by third parties was performed by company employees. The increase in payroll expenses was due to higher levels of salary and related costs resulting from the changes to the Company’s senior management team.
Interest and Other Income: Interest and other income reflects earnings on cash balances and dividends onmarketable securities in addition to miscellaneous income items. Interest income was $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $308,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2005 primarily related to interest earned on cash balances which generally earned approximately 3.1% interest compared to less than 2% in 2004. Additionally, based on the preferred equity activity and property dispositions during 2005, the Company’s average cash on hand of $132.2 million was significantlymore than the average cash on hand during 2004 of $22.7 million.
41
Interest Expense: Interest expense was $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $3.1 rmillion for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease is attributable to the payoff of the line of credit, a mortgage note payable and an affiliate loan in 2004. No interest expense was capitalized as part of building costsassociated with properties under development during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Gain on Disposition of Real Estate: Included in income from discontinued operations are gains on dispositionsof real estate for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $18.1 million compared to $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. In 2005, the Company disposed of eight properties, one in Oregon and seven in Miami, as well as, three parcels of land in Oregon and a small parcel of land in Miami. The property in Beaverton, Oregongenerated a gain of $12.5 million with the remaining properties and land providing a net gain of $5.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company disposed of six properties, two in Maryland, two in Miami, one in Texas and one in Oregon. The two properties in Maryland generated an aggregate gain of $15.2 million withthe remaining four properties providing a net gain of $300,000.
Minority Interest in Income: Minority interest in income reflects the income allocable to equity interests in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Company. Minority interest in income was $21.5 million ($10.7million allocated to preferred unit holders and $10.9 million allocated to common unit holders) for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $30.0 million ($20.2 million allocated to preferred unit holders and $9.8 million allocated to common unit holders) for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in minority interest in income was due primarily to the redemptions of preferred operating partnership units during 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $134.2 million from $200.4 million at December 31, 2005 to $66.3 million at December 31, 2006. The primary reasons for the decrease were property acquisitions, net change in preferred qqequity, and the repurchase of common stock partially offset by retained operating cash flow.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $165.5 millionand $149.4 million, respectively. Management believes that the Company’s internally generated net cash provided by operating activities will continue to be sufficient to enable it to meet its operating expenses, capital improvements and debt service requirements and to maintain the current level of distributions to shareholders in addition toproviding additional retained cash for future growth, debt repayment, and stock repurchases.
Net cash used in investing activities was $170.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to cashprovided by investing activities of $24.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The change between years was $194.4 million or 797.0% and was primarily due to cash paid for acquisitions for two properties in Maryland, a property in Virginia, two properties in California and two in Florida for a combined total of $139.0 million. Proceeds from the disposition of real estate facilities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $7.7 million compared to $84.8 million in the prior year. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Companyused $39.2 million and $40.3 million for capital improvements to real estate facilities, respectively. The decrease of $1.1 million or 2.8% resulted from decreased transaction costs.
Net cash used in financing activities was $129.7 million and $13.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The change of $116.6 million is primarily the result of an increase of $106.9 million in preferredequity redemptions and a decrease of $6.6 million in net proceeds from the issuance of preferred equity. As a result of the 2006 transactions, the Company decreased its preferred equity outstanding from 33.5% of its market capitalization at December 31, 2005 to 25.2% at December 31, 2006. Additionally, the Company repurchased $16.1million of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The Company’s capital structure is characterized by nominal debt. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had fseven fixed rate mortgage notes payable totaling $67.0 million, which represented approximately 2.4% of its total market capitalization. The Company calculates market capitalization by adding (1) the liquidation preference of theCompany’s outstanding preferred equity, (2) principal value of the Company’s outstanding mortgages and (3) thetotal number of common shares and common units outstanding at December 31, 2006 multiplied by the closing price
42
of the stock on that date. The weighted average interest rate for the mortgage notes is approximately 6.11% per annum. The Company had approximately 9.0% of its properties, based on net book value, encumbered at December 31, 2006.
During 2006, the Company issued an aggregate of $95.0 million of preferred equity with a rate of 7.375%.Proceeds from the various offerings were used to redeem higher rate preferred equity of $118.9 million with a weighted average rate of 9.389%.
In August of 2005, the Company modified the term of its line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells FargoBank. The Credit Facility has a borrowing limit of $100.0 million and matures on August 1, 2008. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable monthly. At the option of the Company, the rate of interest charged is equal to (i)the prime rate or (ii) a rate ranging from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.50% to LIBOR plus 1.20% depending on the Company’s credit ratings and coverage ratios, as defined (currently LIBOR plus 0.65%). Inaddition, the Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.30% of the borrowing limit (currently 0.20%). In connection with the modification of the Credit Facility, the Company paid a fee of $450,000, which will be amortized over the life of the Credit Facility. The Company had no balance outstanding on its Credit Facility at December 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company repaid in full the $95.0 million outstanding on its line of credit in January, 2004, and subsequently borrowed $138.0 million on its line of credit in 2004 which was repaid in full prior to December 31, 2004.
As of December 31, 2003, the Company had $100.0 million in short-term borrowings from PSI. The note boreinterest at 1.4% and was due on March 9, 2004. The Company repaid the note in full during the first quarter of 2004.
In February, 2002, the Company entered into a seven year $50.0 million term loan agreement with Fleet National rBank. The interest on the note was at LIBOR plus 1.45% and it had an original maturity of February 20, 2009. The Company paid a one-time fee of 0.35% or $175,000 for the facility. In July, 2002, the Company entered into aninterest rate swap transaction which had the effect of fixing the rate on the term loan through July, 2004 at 4.46% per annum. In February, 2004, the Company repaid in full the $50.0 million outstanding on the term loan.
During 2004, the Company issued an aggregate of $437.8 million of preferred equity with an average rate of 7.23%. Proceeds from the various offerings were used to redeem higher rate preferred equity aggregating $185.6 million with an average rate of 8.93%. In addition, proceeds were used to provide permanent financing for theCompany’s acquisitions made in 2003 and 2004 by enabling the Company to repay, in full, the balances outstanding on the Company’s note with PSI, the Credit Facility and the term loan.
The Company’s funding strategy has been to use permanent capital, including common and preferred stock, and internally generated retained cash flows. In addition, the Company may sell properties that no longer meet itsinvestment criteria. The Company may finance acquisitions on a temporary basis with borrowings from its Credit Facility. The Company targets a ratio of funds from operations (“FFO”) to combined fixed charges and preferred distributions of 3.0 to 1.0. Fixed charges include interest expense and capitalized interest. Preferred distributionsinclude amounts paid to preferred shareholders and preferred Operating Partnership unit holders. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the FFO to fixed charges and preferred distributions coverage ratio was 2.9 to 1.0, excluding the effects of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Topic D-42.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Disclosure Measure: Funds from Operations: Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance. The Company computes FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP,before depreciation, amortization, minority interest in income and extraordinary items. Management believes that FFO provides a useful measure of the Company’s operating performance and when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities,general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income.
43
FFO should be analyzed in conjunction with net income. However, FFO should not be viewed as a substitute for net income as a measure of operating performance or liquidity as it does not reflect depreciation and amortizationcosts or the level of capital expenditure and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of theCompany’s properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact the Company’s results of yoperations.
Management believes FFO provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’soperating performance when compared to the performance of other real estate companies as FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting operations of REITs. Other REITs may use different methods for calculating FFO and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to other real estate companies.
FFO for the Company is computed as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
To limit the Company’s exposure to market risk, the Company principally finances its operations and growth with permanent equity capital consisting either of common stock or preferred equity. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s debt as a percentage of shareholders’ equity and minority interest (based on book values) was 5.0%.
The Company’s market risk sensitive instruments include mortgage notes payable of $67.0 million at December 31, 2006. All of the Company’s mortgage notes payable bear interest at fixed rates. See Notes 2, 5, and 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements for the terms, valuations and approximate principal maturities of the Company’s mortgage notes payable and the line of credit as of December 31, 2006. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company, combined with the amount of fixed rate debt outstanding, the difference between the carryingamount of debt and its fair value is insignificant.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the years ended December 31,2006, 2005 and 2004 and the report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, thereon and the related financial statement schedule, are included elsewhere herein.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 isprocessed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, nomatter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired controlobjectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possiblecontrols and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with theparticipation of management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectivenessof the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006. Based on theforegoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of that time, that the Company’stdisclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the threemonths ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company may make changes in its internal controlprocesses from time to time in the future.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financialreporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 using the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.rr
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Young LLP’s report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting appears below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of PS Business Parks, Inc.
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that PS Business Parks, Inc. (the Company) maintained effective internal controlover financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). PS Business Parks, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’sassessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing suchother procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)f provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordancewith generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being madeonly in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that PS Business Parks, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria.Also, in our opinion, PS Business Parks, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of PS Business Parks, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 of PS Business Parks, Inc. and our report dated February 23, 2007 expressed anunqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006
1. Organization and description of business
Organization
PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”) was incorporated in the state of California in 1990. As of December 31, 2006, PSB owned approximately 75% of the common partnership units of PS Business Parks, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or “OP”). The remaining common partnership units were owned by Public Storage, Inc. (“PSI”). PSB,as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in managing and controlling the Operating Partnership. PSB and the Operating Partnership are collectively referred to as the “Company.”
Description of business
The Company is a fully-integrated, self-advised and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that ffacquires, develops, owns and operates commercial properties, primarily multi-tenant flex, office and industrialspace. As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned and operated approximately 18.7 million rentable square feet of commercial space located in eight states. The Company also manages approximately 1.4 million rentable squarefeet on behalf of PSI and its affiliated entities.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PSB and the Operating Partnership.All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported inthe consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from estimates.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
We monitor the collectibility of our receivable balances including the deferred rent receivable on an on-goingbasis. Based on these reviews, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting fromthe possible inability of our tenants to make required rent payments to us. A provision for doubtful accounts isrecorded during each period. The allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the cumulative allowances lesswrite-offs of uncollectible rent, is netted against tenant and other receivables on our consolidated balance sheets.Tenant receivables are net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts totaling $300,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Financial instruments
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described below. TheCompany has estimated the fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of market value. Accordingly, estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in current market exchanges.
59
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Due to the short period to maturity of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents,accounts receivable, other assets and accrued and other liabilities, the carrying values as presented on theconsolidated balance sheets are reasonable estimates of fair value. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company, the carrying amount of debt approximates fair value.
Financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and receivables. Cash and cash equivalents, which consist primarily of short-term investments, including commercial paper, are onlyinvested in entities with an investment grade rating. Receivables are compriset d of balances due from a large number of customers. Balances that the Company expects to become uncollectable are reserved for or written off.
In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial AccountingStandards (“SFAS”) No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (SFAS No. 133, asamended by SFAS No. 138). The Statement requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value and reflected as income or expense. If thederivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
In July, 2002, the Operating Partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which was accounted for as a cash flow hedge, in order to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate debt.The agreement, which covered $50.0 million of debt through July, 2004, effectively changed the interest rateexposure from floating rate to a fixed rate of 4.46%. Market gains and losses on the value of the swap were deferred and included in income over the life of the swap or related debt. The difference paid on the interest rate swap of $557,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 was recorded in interest expense as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no interest differentials paid on the interest rate swap. Net interest differentials paid or received related to these contracts were accrued as incurred or earned. There was no unrealized dloss related to the interest rate swap included in other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2006 or 2005 as the swap agreement was eliminated in 2004.
Real estate facilities
Real estate facilities are recorded at cost. Costs related to the renovation or improvement of the properties are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that are expected tobenefit a period greater than 24 months and exceed $2,000 are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated usefullife. Buildings and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which aregenerally 30 and 5 years, respectively. Leasing costs in excess of $1,000 for leases with terms greater than two yearsare capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Leasing costs for leases of less than two years or less than $1,000 are expensed as incurred.
Interest cost and property taxes incurred during the period of construction of real estate facilities are capitalized.fThe Company did not capitalize any interest expense in 2006, 2005 or 2004. The Company did not capitalized any property taxes during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company capitalized $46,000 of property taxes during the year ended December 31, 2004.
Properties Held for Disposition
The Company accounts for properties held for disposition in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. An asset is classified as an asset held for disposition when it meets the requirements of SFAS No. 144, which include, among other criteria, the approval of the sale of the asset, the asset has been marketed for sale and the Company expects that the sale will likely occur within the next twelve months. Upon classification of an asset as held for disposition, the net book value of the asset is included on thebalance sheet as properties held for disposition, depreciation of the asset is ceased and the operating results of the asset are included in discontinued operations.
60
Intangible assets
Intangible assets include above-market and below-market in-place lease values of acquired properties based onthe present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values (included in other assetsin the accompanying consolidated balance sheet) are amortized, net, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The Company amortized $232,000, $155,000 and $156,000 of intangible assets resulting from the above and below market lease values during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the value of in-place leases was $656,000, net of $535,000 of accumulated amortization. As of December 31, 2005, the value of in-place leases was $455,000, net of $304,000 of accumulated amortization.
Evaluation of asset impairment
The Company evaluates its assets used in operations by identifying indicators of impairment and by comparingthe sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows for each asset to the asset’s carrying value. When indicatorsof impairment are present and the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of suchasset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s current carrying value and its value based on discounting its estimated future cash flows. In addition, the Company evaluates its assets held for disposition for impairment. Assets held for disposition are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less cost of disposition. At December 31, 2006, the Company did not consider any assets to be impaired.
Asset impairment due to casualty loss
It is the Company’s policy to record as a casualty loss or gain, in the period the casualty occurs, the differentialbetween (a) the book value of assets destroyed and (b) any insurance proceeds that we expect to receive in accordance with our insurance contracts. Potential proceeds from insurance that are subject to any uncertainties,tsuch as interpretation of deductible provisions of the governing agreements, the estimation of costs of restoration, or other such items, are treated as contingent proceeds in accordance with SFAS No. 5, and not recorded until the uncertainties are satisfied.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, one of our real estate assets located in Southern California was damaged as a result of a fire. We have estimated that the costs to restore this facility will be approximately $392,000. Wehave third-party insurance, subject to certain deductibles, that covers restoration of physical damage and the loss of income due to the physical damage incurred. We expect our insurers to pay all of the costs associated with the fire.The net book value of the assets destroyed was approximately $266,000 combined with approximately $126,000 of non-capitalized expense incurred in 2006. Accordingly, no casualty loss was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, several of our real estate assets located in South Florida were damaged as a result of a series of hurricanes. We have estimated that the costs to restore these facilities will be approximately $2.3 million. We have third-party insurance, subject to certain deductibles, that covers restoration of physicaldamage and the loss of income due to the physical damage incurred. We expect our insurers to pay approximately $1.6 million of the physical damage, and the net book value of the assets destroyed was approximately $1.1 million combined with approximately $510,000 of non-capitalized expense incurred in 2005. Accordingly, we haverecorded a casualty loss of $72,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. No material casualty losses were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2004.
These amounts are based upon estimates and are subject to change as we and our insurers (i) more fully evaluatethe extent of physical damage, which may not be fully determinable until commencement of repairs, (ii) developdetailed restoration plans and (iii) evaluate the impact of local conditions in the building labor and supplies markets for restoration costs.
61
Stock-based compensation
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which is arevision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stockoptions, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method. Due to the Company adopting the Fair Value Method of accounting for stock options effective January 1, 2002, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. See Note 10.
Revenue and expense recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 of the Securities and ExchangeCommission, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB 104”). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteriamust be met before revenue can be recognized: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the delivery hasoccurred or services rendered; the fee is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. All leasesare classified as operating leases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.Straight-line rent is recognized for all tenants with contractual increases in rent that are not included on theCompany’s credit watch list. Deferred rent receivables represent rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis inexcess of billed rents. Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expensesare recognized as revenues in the period the applicable costs are incurred.
Costs incurred in connection with leasing (primarily tenant improvements and leasing commissions) arecapitalized and amortized over the lease period.
Gains/Losses from sales of real estate
The Company recognizes gains from sales of real estate at the time of sale using the full accrual method,provided that various criteria related to the terms of the transactions and any subsequent involvement by us with the properties sold are met. If the criteria are not met, the Company defers the gains and recognizes them when thecriteria are met or using the installment or cost recovery methods as appropriate under the circumstances.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense includes executive compensation, office expense, professional fees, stateincome taxes, cost of acquisition personnel and other such administrative items.
Related party transactions
Pursuant to a cost sharing and administrative services agreement, the Company shares costs with PSI and affiliated entities for certain administrative services.

In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, the purchase price of acquired properties is allocated to land, buildings and equipment and identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities associated with in-place leases (including tenant improvements, unamortized leasing commissions, value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, if any) based on their respective estimated fair values.
The fair value of the tangible assets of the acquired properties considers the value of the properties as if vacant asof the acquisition date. Management must make significant assumptions in determining the value of assets and liabilities acquired. Using different assumptions in the allocation of the purchase cost of the acquired propertieswould affect the timing of recognition of the related revenue and expenses. Amounts allocated to land are derived from comparable sales of land within the same region. Amounts allocated to buildings and improvements, tenant improvements and unamortized leasing commissions are based on current market replacement costs and other market rate information. The amount allocated to acquired in-place leases is determined based on management’s assessment of current market conditions and the estimated lease-up periods for the respective spaces.

7. Minority interests
Common partnership units
The Company presents the accounts of PSB and the Operating Partnership on a consolidated basis. Ownershipinterests in the Operating Partnership that can be redeemed for common stock, other than PSB’s interest, areclassified as minority interest — common units in the consolidated financial statements. Minority interest in income common units consists of the minority interests’ share of the consolidated operatingf results after allocation to preferred units and shares.
Beginning one year from the date of admission as a limited partner (common units) and subject to certain limitations described below, each limited partner other than PSB has the right to require the redemption of its partnership interest.
A limited partner (common units) that exercises its redemption right will receive cash from the OperatingPartnership in an amount equal to the market value (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement) of thepartnership interests redeemed. In lieu of the Operating Partnership redeeming the partner for cash, PSB, as generalaapartner, has the right to elect to acquire the partnership interest directly from a limited partner exercising itsredemption right, in exchange for cash in the amount specified above or by issuance of one share of PSB common stock for each unit of limited partnership interest redeemed.
A limited partner (common units) cannot exercise its redemption right if delivery of shares of PSB commonstock would be prohibited under the applicable articles of incorporation, or if the general partner believes that there is a risk that delivery of shares of common stock would cause the general partner to no longer qualify as a REIT, would cause a violation of the applicable securities laws, or would result in the Operating Partnership no longer being treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
At December 31, 2006, there were 7,305,355 common units owned by PSI, which are accounted for as minorityinterests. On a fully converted basis, assuming all 7,305,355 minority interest common units were converted intoshares of common stock of PSB at December 31, 2006, the minority interest units would convert into approximately 25.5% of the common shares outstanding. At the end of each reporting period, the Company determines the amount of equity (book value of net assets) which is allocable to the minority interest based upon the ownership interest and an adjustment is made to the minority interest, with a corresponding adjustment to paid-in capital, to reflect theminority interests’ equity in the Company.

The preferred units are exchangeable for CumulativeRedeemable Preferred Stock of the respective series of PSB on or after the tenth anniversary of the date of issuance at the option of the Operating Partnership or a majority of the holders of the respective preferred units. The yCumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock will have the same distribution rate and par value as the corresponding preferred units and will otherwise have equivalent terms to the other series of preferred stock described in Note 9. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had $2.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of deferred costs in connection with the issuance of preferred units, which the Company will report as additional distributions upon notice of redemption.

10. Stock-based compensation
PSB has a 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “1997 Plan”) and a 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan(the “2003 Plan”), each covering 1.5 million shares of PSB’s common stock. Under the 1997 Plan and 2003 Plan, PSB has granted non-qualified options to certain directors, officers and key employees to purchase shares of PSB’scommon stock at a price no less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Additionally, under the 1997 Plan and 2003 Plan, PSB has granted restricted stock units to officers and key employees.
Generally, options under the 1997 Plan vest over a three-year period from the date of grant at the rate of one third per year and expire ten years after the date of grant. Options under the 2003 Plan vest over a five-year period from the date of grant at the rate of one fifth per year and expire ten years after the date of grant. Restricted stock units granted prior to August, 2002 are subject to a five-year vesting schedule, at 30% in year three, 30% in year four and 40% in year five. Generally, restricted stock units granted subsequent to August, 2002 are subject to a six year vesting schedule, none in year one and 20% for each of the next five years. Certain restricted stock unit grants are subject to a four year vesting schedule, with either cliff vesting after year four or none in year one and 33.3% for each of the next three years.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which is arevision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stockoptions, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method.
71
The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005and 2004 were $11.24 per share, $6.98 per share and $6.80 per share, respectively. The Company has calculated thefair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the followingweighted average assumptions used for grants for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively;a dividend yield of 2.1%, 2.6% and 2.6%; expected volatility of 17.9%, 17.6% and 17.5%; expected life of fiveyears; and risk-free interest rates of 4.9%, 4.2% and 3.6%.
The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the years ended December 31,2006, 2005 and 2004, were $55.12, $41.43 and $41.67, respectively. The Company has calculated the fair value of each restricted stock unit grant using the market value on the date of grant.
At December 31, 2006, there were a combined total of 1.3 million options and restricted stock units authorized togrant. Information with respect to outstanding options and nonvested restricted stock units granted under the 1997 Plan and 2003 Plan is as follows:

11. Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, aninterpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes” (FIN 48), to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax provisions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effecuu tive for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, as requf ired. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of toperations.
